Family - home

Today we did some sharing on what we think Dom7th means to me. I wrote that ' it is a family, a place close to my heart, where relationships are forged with warm and unchanging love.'

Yet when I look at my real family, I question if it is a family. When all of us are at home, things get ugly. When few of us are at home, it feels so quiet. We come home to see each other sleep.
And when we get busier with serving in church, my mum will spend more time alone, facing four white walls, with no one to talk to. I can't blame anyone. Thus not spending enough time with my loved ones will just stay as a regret for the rest of my life.

Then again, prayer will change things for the better won't it?
