When your kids say they are homesick what can you do?
Really there is nothing that can be said or done to make that feeling go away. I think it is just a nicer way of saying that they are grieving. And when someone is grieving you just be there for them, embrace their sorrow, and pray for their comfort. Not much else you can do!
It does help to have talks in between greiving that make it a little easier when those times do come. A good verse is that the Lord is close to the broken hearted to remind us all that this sorrow is not ignored nor is it pampered by the Lord who was greived and sorrowful as well.
But in the end, no amount of sermonizing can stop grieving nor should it try to do so. The inbetween talks and verses from scripture or just wise sayings are meant to simply encourage before, after and during hard times.
Good to know that God is Good all the Time!

We are looking forward to being with you. The girls may go through 'homesickness' and I think we go through 'family-sickness'!! We are counting down our days!!
By the things I see it looks like Cheryl is your most homesick girl..and I think she has had to make major changes in the homemaking area that are quite hard.
