#11. Women want a home for Christmas and everyday

Simply stated
Women want HOME for the holidays.

Home is a state of mind and a physical location.

A home
Is where love is
Is where peace exists
Is stability
Is warmth
Is a soft place to land
Is a roof over your head
Is shelter from the rain.

Home is family.
Women want family.
When you reach a certain age
You really and truly want your own family.
You need to build memories
Create legacies.
Home is life and life-giving.

Home is a space that we fill
With laughter
With pictures
With people we love, gathering in the kitchen, telling lies and eating pies.

Home prepares a place for rest
To review the best and worst of the year
Where we stop and wonder how we got over
Where we give thanks for each new day
Where we pray for a better tomorrow.


As prayers go, I offer one for each person who is homeless physically and/or emotionally. I can certainly relate, knowing firsthand that any day without the creature comforts of home and the peace of God is a miserable existence. I pray that our voids will be filled with blessings and that we will in turn be a blessing to others; always testifying of His goodness.
