When I think of home I see place where love is over flowing. That is the sentiment I want C.J. to have when she thinks of home from now to forever. We arrived home fairly early today. C.J. had the opportunity to watch some television, eat and catch some football with dad. the game was rather boring so daddy decided to switch to SVU. The feel in the house was relaxed. We ate dinner. C.J. and I practiced some singing scales and I played Floetry so she could hear what real music sounded like.
I began to think of what a home was. Some may say a place. I beg to differ and I will say that it is a feeling. You have to feel at home. A home is when you are at peace. The distractions from the outside world are not allowed. A home is where loves abides and excitement fills the hearts of all. A home is where you find refuge from a bad day and serenity from the chaos that is the world. A home is where prayer is number one on the agenda and God is the head.
Their was a time in my life when I would keep myself busy not to go home. However once I was married the urge to be home grew and now that I am a daddy home is where I want to be 24/7. I hurry home from work, do not go out as much and make sure that every night is ended and began at home. I pray that home continues to develop into a haven of hope and layer of love and a palace of prayer. that way it will be a model home. A home that C.J. will be nurtured and grow into a fascinating young woman and more importantly a home that God is pleased with.
Every night C.J. is read to, prayed with, comforted and kissed. When I look down in that crib and see her sleeping it brings a smile to my face. I smile because another day in our home is complete and now God will watch over us as we slumber.
As I go may homes be developed in your lives may the be blessed and highly favored. Until next time always remember to pray because prayer changes things!
