A Journey Home

| "HOME built with LOVE&CARE" |
A home is a building built by a united family. But a home is more than just a building. Love and care for one another makes a home. It is a place where each one of us grows and matures as we carry out responsibilities. Each of us, as a member of a family, we are responsible for strengthening the ties that bind the members of family together. If a home doesn’t contain a family that is united and have a love and care to each other, it is not a home, it is only a house built by someone else.
The family is the most special gift to us from God; our father, mother, brother, and sister are special persons with whom we experience love, care, support, concern, acceptance, understanding, and growth in wisdom and grace. Our family is the circle where we have the most beautiful and meaningful relationships in life. They were the only place where we can find safety and security. Family is the only one who can help us in times of troubles and problems. They are the only person whom can we trust when there is something wrong. They are the people who can make us see what a true world is, they are the only one who can discipline us in order to have a good path in the future and for us to be responsible in our duties. Everything was there, that was called a FAMILY.
One of the greatest happiness in life is the family happiness. To have this, so much lies on how each member relates with the others. But now, many families are broken because of misunderstanding with each other. There’s no respect for some decisions that’s made for them. There is no unity that bounds a whole family for a better world. Most of all, there’s no love that binds with each other. This happens because there’s a lack of discipline, understanding, happiness, love, and trust. Having a family like this is such a great sadness in life. This was the most problem in such a country like Philippines that makes the world lifeless.
To go through life without a true family is to miss a satisfying and challenging human experience. Parents and children have different roles in achieving family solidarity. Each role is important, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The interactions within the family should be based on the love and respect of the family members for each other and for themselves.
