Love At Home


It seems that nowadays it has been hard to keep that “Love at Home.”  I know that it is quite a tough thing.  I mean I sometimes wondered growing up how my parents were able to do it.  But I have done some research and found a few things I wanted to post up and maybe this might help someone else out there know how to keep that “Love at Home.”

Here are some known facts that we should have within our homes to help those that we love be able to always feel that love…

I have a favorite song that I have and in it has a phrase we should apply to our lives at home.  The song is called: “Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words” (Written by: Joseph L. Townsend and Music by: Ebenezer Beesley).  The phrase that I would like to illuminate to everyone is “Kind words are sweet tones of the heart.”  I know that at times it is hard for us to keep the words that are not so kind from coming out but as long as you try and keep going at it and speak those kind words then it will become a habit that would be unbreakable as long as you keep it that way.   We should also teach our children this not only through words but by example as well.

Another thing we should do within our homes might not be something that we currently do without complaining first but it is something we should do full heartedly.  And that would be doing small acts of service for each other.  Whether it is cleaning or straightening up the house or just going out of your way to help someone out it doesn’t matter you shouldn’t be like “Oh I have to do this cause if I don’t I will feel bad”  You should always be like “YES!!! Another chance to make my life feel AMAZING!!”  It’s all about attitude and how you carry yourself.  Just be that example when others aren’t looking cause because you never really know who is really looking! 

Last but not least you should always have time to have that quality time within your home.  Like I have said in one of my previous posts family is not always just those that you were raised by; but those also you had made friends.  As long as you are spending time with your loved ones i.e. Mother, Father, brothers, sisters, friends, cousins, nieces, nephews, and so on then you will create that “Love at Home!”

Now a home doesn’t need to always be where family is.  You know the saying: “Home is where the Heart is!”  Well it is true.  In a lot of cases we have those people we call “The Homeless” and also those that are “Orphans” and those who have lost those that are dear to them.  All of these people have a home no matter the place.  Whether it is in an alley way next to a dumpster or even a place where other orphans stay.  As long as your heart is there with it then it is a home.  Although those of us that are able to afford a nicer accommodations of sorts we might not know the feeling of what these others are going through.  But we should always apply our services in some way.  Whether it is giving food and clothing to those that need it or even some sort of shelter.  As we do this it will show others that we really do have “Love at Home” where we live.  If we look at the bigger picture and I know for a fact that most of us don’t.  The biggest home that we have is Our lovely planet Earth.  This place is our home and is a place where people from all walks of life are here to experience that Love that we need in our homes.  We need to help our brothers and sisters all across the world so that we will be able to share that Love we need to give and make our home (Earth) a better place to not only live but to share also.  Our home (Earth) needs to have always and forevermore “Love At Home!”
