The Road That Guides Us Home
We were born longing to go back to the place where we belonged. We associate the destination with the first place we knew in the world. Though, we were born strangers in a strange land, and “home” was just the first place we remember.
There’s no place like home in this world. We can’t go back to the first place we knew.
Exodus 20:12 KJV
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving youev.
Human parents could never measure up to the ones we dreamed they could be. We were inspired by the One Father/Mother Love we can’t remember. By Faith we can honor what the Creator intended to be, and that be, when the Word is fulfilled.
Genesis 2:24 KJV
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
The Wedding was designated as the Time to let them go. To form a new household, the husband and wife were guided to cleave to one another beyond the control of their parents. We can still honor the wisdom they shared. Even if our childhood was a hard lesson, by their failures we imagined what our “home” could be.
