At Home, Love is the Theme

T1 and T2 will meet their brother and dog and become familiar with home today. What a wild three weeks it has been. But, now, the anticipated has truly arrived.

Home should be a safe haven for all inhabitants. Home is sometimes chaotic but should be comfortable. Home is a retreat where honor and respect are found, sympathy and grace are given, mercy and forgiveness are taught. Nuturing and caresses are frequent and playfulness the mood. Love is the theme.

Pretty lofty goals? Yes, and sometimes it seems impossible since home is where most conflict begins, many hearts are torn, and tears are spilt. We must always press on toward this objective: Love is the theme.

Remember the theme when exhaustion has set in. Recall love when quarrels arise. Keep in mind the goal when the din of the world overcomes the stillness of Truth.

I pray that all who go home today will find that Love is the Theme where they abide.
