Holy Family
Some religious traditions recently celebrated "The Holy Family." What is that in modern terms? I think of a Holy Family as the place where you can go and receive love and acceptance without having to earn it. It would be for me, "Home." So I ask myself where is my home where I would receive this love and acceptance without having to earn it? I live in four places and none of them would be "Home," if this were the criterion. In each place I would be expected to do something or else I would not be so welcomed or guaranteed a room. I have to work everywhere I go. That is the expectation. So the last place that I can recall where I did not have to do anything was when I visited my parents. That was home for me. I did not have to do anything. Everyone else says, "Welcome home," and then there are things I am supposed to do as in work and make money. I never felt that I was visiting my parents. Rather I was "home." So where is your home?
