Pilgrim Flock

USCCA, Chapter 10

My preferred images of The Church are sacramental and relational:
The Body of Christ
The People of God
Pilgrim
Mother
The Sheep of the Good Shepherd

The image that most resonates with me at this time in my life is Pilgrim.  I see us as on a Journey Home.  Heaven is our Home, and Earth is mostly a desert where we wander, and yet, because the Lord loves us and never abandons us He provides us with Manna, with Life-giving Water, with oases along the way; and He "pitches His tent with us."  :)
 

Reading Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, Made into a Picture Book by Robert Lawson, With Text Retold and Shortened for Modern Reader, by Mary Godolphin.  I haven't read this since I was a young child!  Reading it again now makes me what to find the longer version and read it too.
