Yechezkel - Ezekiel - Chapter 37

15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

16" And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write upon it, 'For Judah and for the children of Israel his companions'; and take one stick and write upon it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.'

17 And bring them close, one to the other into one stick, and they shall be one in your hand.

18 And when the children of your people say to you, saying, 'Will you not tell us what these are to you?'

19 Say to them, So says the Lord God: Behold I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions, and I will place them with him with the stick of Judah, and I will make them into one stick, and they shall become one in My hand.

I feel a pull coming from Israel saying to me Come home, be among your people. This pull is what drove me to make two trips to Israel, hoping someday to go back and say I'm home.

Now my health is rapidly failing, and I wonder, will I ever go back before G-d calls me to my final rest.
