He forever favors the HOME of those who do right. Proverbs 3:33 Voice
Home is really more a feeling than a place. Places contain the memories of the feeling of being home. My husband moved to Heaven four years ago and our house felt very empty without him. I realized as I thought about selling the house that no one could take away my memories and the joy shared there. I had a massive estate sale preparing the sell the house and have not missed a thing that I sold or gave away. I still have more to get rid of and will do so soon. Here are some of my reflections on home.
Home is …
… a sense of perspective and comfort.
… a place where I find my heart is cherished and loved.
… a community where my voice is heard and I contribute using my gifts.

If you cannot come up with a list of those who love, begin to build a community where this can happen by providing a haven for others.
