Where is Your Home?

Home is the place where a man’s heart dwells. It may be called something completely different by others; a club, a race track, or an office, but if that is where a man’s whole heart is centered, that is his home. How well we know that if a man’s heart comes to rest trustfully in his wife and children, then where they are becomes his home. Nothing will make his house cease to be his home but this separation from it. 

Even so, when our hearts come to rest in God, and our thoughts delight in turning to Him, then Heaven becomes our home. God’s dwelling becomes our habitation. And when we learn it to see that God is the beauty of the world and that God is the tenderness of our human love, and that God is the inspiration of good work and true thought, as well as the joy of heavenly contemplation, then shall we learn in the world, in our households, in our labor, and in the heavenly hopes, always and everywhere to be at home in God.
