They are in search of their real homeland.
They can not have meant the country they came from.
We are always seeking another country.
For that is where we truly come from.
They were longing for a better homeland.
The heavenly homeland.
A better land .
Even if no more now than a strand.
Today at a funeral I pondered this.
Is the next life our true country.
Or is this life that we will miss.
Together with all and sundry.
But certainly this very old lady longed for death.
And with it a new heavenly breath.
…..
Where is our country
Is it this or another
But we do not know

See Hebrews 11: 1-2, 8-19
