Home

Home is the place where love abounds. A place where joy is easily found, and laughter energizes the very air. Home is the place where you can relax. It’s a place where you can dream and put those dreams into action. You can work and make goals uninterrupted by worldly distractions.

Blessing adorns the home. Contentment is a halo on the roof of the house. Home is a stronghold robed in the garb of encouragement. The walls are painted with tranquility and radiate with serenity. The air is fresh and unpolluted by the worries of the world. Home is where the music of goodness echoes though the walls and the song of faithfulness is heard. Every thread of carpet is charged by happiness. Peace mists down from the ceiling to the floors. Comfort is infused into every piece of furniture and spills over to the blankets in the basket around the corner.

Meals are served and are never without a helping of thankfulness. The table is surrounded by an atmosphere of gratitude and thankfulness. The old oak table and the chairs encircling it are infused with memories, and stories that have been told in its presence.

Home is a place so full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that there is no room for doubt, complaints, fear, anxiety, stress, hatred, selfishness, arguing, or anger. Home is where we continually feast on the Fruit of the Spirit.

Home is where bonds are strengthened, and lessons are learned. The shadow of sorrow may come for a time, but the sunshine of gratitude and gladness drive it quickly away. When uncertainty approaches, confidence in the Lord carries you through. Home is a safe place; a harbor, a haven, a refuge, and we find solace there. Home is where we learn about our eternal home, Heaven.

Home is love, strength, and family.
