HEART AND HOME
And your heart has become proud in boasting now stay at home.
2 Chronicles 25:19 NASB
There is an old saying that “home is where the heart is”. Truer words were never spoken or written down.
I was born and raised in Colorado. Part of my heart still longs for the West, perhaps near the “four Corners”. Durango and the Animas River beckon me to return home.
As luck and good fortune would have it, I met, fell in love, and married a girl from New England. Just like my ties to the South West, her heart belonged to the Northeast.
As the Bible teaches us, “a man leaves home and cleaves to his wife”. I believe that the bond between mother and daughter are stronger that any other human attraction. This bond dictated that we should settle down and live in New England. My wife’s mother would rather have us living within a 30 minute drive from her residence, that way my wife would remain under the influence and control of her mother. Had we done so, our marriage would have soon ended.
As it is, my wife and I settled down in Massachusetts. We raised two children, a girl and a boy. We resided on a remarkable street that was reminiscent of a bygone age, an age of friendly and loving neighbors. Our street was loaded with children of all ages, some my daughters age and some my sons age. Their situation growing up was near perfect.
I guess that the moral of this story is that a married couple must make their own home and decisions without any outside influence.
Dear Father, thank you for guiding me through life and helping me to make wise decisions.
