10/2004

A Home is a temple where each person adores God, glorifies God; where there is a God who is the Lord of all and where all live for God, where the last word is always the Word of God, and the spirit who reigns is the Spirit of Peace and righteousness – God’s Spirit.

Home is an office where each person works creatively and with responsibility for the good of all and all people work for the good of each other. Home is a hospital where the balm of love heals all pain and the toner of truth strengthens the spirit.

Home is a school where each person learns the lesson of humility. The father learns to be a father. The mother learns to be a mother. The children learn to be children and all learn to live together.

Home is a place where the people seek to know each other mutually, where the personality of each person is respected by all and the character is developed in the practice of the virtues. Where the growth of each one is desired and accompanied by all. Where the joy of each is the joy of everybody.

Home is all of this, but a Christian home is more than this. A Christian home is a piece of heaven on earth by the presence and the power of God. Is your home like this?
