I love the saying: “God has prepared many pleasant inns for us along the road of life, but he never wants us to mistake them for home.”

[huldah1776]

When I think of my prepared home, I think of a wonderful place I can create for my family to visit. I will have time to visit and sing and hopefully paint, with each individual that is a member of my family. Before the end of this world I envision a trillion people living on earth. I will be the innkeeper and, wow, I will make breakfast for the King of Kings. Heaven and earth shall be one. The gardens! I love landscaping, and, the birds and animals! Whatever it is, we will be perfectly peaceful and productive. Talk about loving your JOB! :) That is heaven and earth.

“God has prepared many pleasant inns for us along the road of life, but he never wants us to mistake them for home.”

I like it, I have always thought of this world as a string of wayside rests on our way back to the family estate that was sold by Adam and Eve for a taste of the forbidden fruit. No different then Esau selling his birthright for a bowl of red soup. So now here are traveling from rest stop to rest stop as we make our way to the promised land. After all, like Abraham we too are Hebrews (Ebhers), just sojourners from the other side just passing through.

So I will now incorporate your phrase into my analogy in the future if you do not mind.
