We followed the path winding through the customs hall,
eventually being directed to an empty station where we could enter our
passports and declare we had nothing proscribed. Being the US passport holder,
I went first, followed by Don who, not being a US citizen, had to position his
right hand on the ‘reader’ so his fingerprints could be taken.
It happens every time. Missing a couple of fingertips, he
has to repeat the exercise three times, after which he is instructed to use his
left hand. Thankfully it is intact and we can then progress through the customs
hall and out into the bright California sunshine.
Thanks to Jesus, our real citizenship is in heaven. We are
all aliens here on earth, and when we transition from earth to heaven, we won’t
have to pass a fingerprint test nor have a passport which is in date and from
the ‘right’ country.
We only have to love Jesus, and we’re in, living with him
forever. Oh, so grateful.
