When I was in my childhood years and all through my adult years, our house was always a welcome and loving solace for friends and relatives that came our way. It has been such a comfort and joy knowing that people can visit us and feel safe, loved, and feel right at home.
I recently came across the following poem written by Raising Teens Today that I thought was an encouraging writing that…hopefully…will embolden the doors of your home and Be “That House.”
I want to be ‘that house”…
The house my kids’ friends
want to come and hang out.
The house where they can
put their feet up,
grab a drink out of the fridge
and feel at home.
The house where they know
they won’t be judged.
The house where they feel
accepted and loved.
The house where,
despite what may be happening
in their lives, at school or at home,
they know that they will always have a
second family or cares.
What kind of house DO YOU have?

Oh,yes! We have that kind of house, too. It has welcomed and harbored family and friends for 82 years and still going.
