Hi Honey, I’m Home

“Home is ultimately not about a place to live but about the people with whom you are most fully alive. Home is about love, relationship, community, and belonging, and we are all searching for home.”

I really like this quote from Erwin McManus as it reinforces my contention that home is not simply where you were born, where you grew up or where you currently live. Nor is it necessarily in one place forever.
