What is a home?



A home is a haven and a place of rest,

A sanctuary where love and acceptance

Go hand and hand with the teachings of Christ,

Where He is invited to dwell by His Spirit,

And rule as rightful Head.


A home is the solid earthly foundation

For God’s Word to be lived out daily

And His Love is shown

Even in small things.


Home is a place of worship

Where true expressions of faith

And love for God

Can be expressed in the most intimate

Of relationships, the family.


A home is a blessing from the Lord.

May you find the peace and love of God

In your home.
