There is an ancient story passed down through generations of Christians about the apostle Peter during the latter years of his life. It was said that he would often weep whenever a cock would crow. Of course, if we know Bible history, we understand why. But it was also said that Peter would often weep at other times, and no one quite knew the reason. Finally one day, a young saint worked up enough courage to ask him about it.
"Peter, why do you so often weep?" he inquired cautiously.
Peter turned to the young man, and with a look of intense yearning burning in his eyes, he replied softly, "Desiderio Domini."
Translated from Lation into modern-day English, "Desiderio Domini" means "I dearly long to be with my LORD."
I guess that's how I've been feeling lately. I love you, Lord... I have no reason to stay here upon earth except to please You and make You smile. Oh for the day that You touch my heart and tell me that it's time to come Home.

Remembering to love Christ so much, we miss Him and weep daily, longing to be with Him.
Thanks, AnAn!
