In Our Homes...

"We need to

 guard against 

sins of omission 

in our home life.

 We should make sure that no one of 

our own household 

can ever say to us, 

"I was hungry-hearted and you gave me 

no bread. 

I was thirsty

 for affection and 

you gave me no drink.

 I was a stranger at 

your door, and you

 took me not into 

love's warmth and shelter. 

I was sick of the 

world's emptiness, vanity, and sorrow, 

and you visited me 

not. I was in

 prison in my 

narrow environment, and you did not 

come to me with 

the companionship 

that I craved. 

Living by my side 

all these years, 

you did not do love's duty to me."

 ~J.R. Miller in The Transfigure Life
