Home is an indelible ink on the heart

What  image  does "home" conjure up  in your  mind?  Most times,  it will be a  sweet memory,  for home is such a strong part of our lives that it etches itself in our heart in an indelible ink that creates a deep longing. Irregardless of whether home was troubled or not, there is always a part of us that finds it is a refuge. It is that place where we first learnt to interact with people and form family bonds.

At home can just be ourselves and let our hair down as we unwind. Here we not only rest and recoup from the rages and trials of the world, but it is in and of itself, a place of solace and comfort.

Home will draw us back in times of grief as well as joy, for it is written on the human heart in indelible ink, that creates a longing that only it can quell. A good home will give us foresight and hunger for our eternal Home with God...
