What Does Home Mean to You?

Dorothy was spot-on: There’s no place like it.

As we journey through life, our home becomes a place of our hearts.  It's not about the house itself, but about the people who share their lives together inside! Houses get bought and sold; a home stays with you always.

 Home is wherever we gather with our family and friends. A place to rear a family and have refuge from the outside world; to have shelter from the storms of life and the place where God can dwell and feel welcomed. Home should be"our safe place" - a place to regroup and recharge our batteries for the next go-around!

A home should be a place you feel safe, comfortable, and able to achieve the dreams you have set for yourself. In my life I have had 10 different places that I have called home, now 11. 2 were from my childhood and I only remember one of those. The rest have been after marriage. 

Our House was sold, but it was our home full of love and joy for many years. This home was the first home we ever owned so it was especially special.  I will always remember the days of happiness that filled the rooms for so many years.

I am grateful for that blessing. 

We have left this house behind.  Times and seasons change and so do circumstances.  For now we are in the country in a place my parents own.  This is our temporary home on the way to a new season.   We are learning that "stuff" doesn't make the home, even though you do need the right stuff to make a comfortable home.
