For the Family's Sake

Webster's Dictionary defines home as the private living quarters of a person or family; the place where one lives or was born. But many define it simply as where the heart is. Yet it is more than that. It is the secure environment that allows our hearts to develop. A shelter from the world. A haven of growth, quiet and rest. A center of friendship, fun and conversation. The place where we love and are loved. Unfortunately, not everyone has this kind of home. Our busy society has turned homes into houses where genetically related people abide, but where there is no heart. In her new book, Francis and Edith Schaeffer's daughter presents a clear blueprint for constructing homes that survive the variety of situations that we face in our modern lives. With Jesus Christ as the foundation and using tools such as common sense, realism and traditions, families can build a secure, loving environment where every member can flourish. The task is not easy, but it is one of the very truly worthwhile ways to spend our energies and gifts in this life. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
