Home
H -is for Home: a place where one should be able to go when there is no other
place of refuge; a place of love, safety, solace and warmth. A place where all
live for God, and God lives in all. A place where "I" is given a back seat when
necessary for the "unity" and "strength" of All. A place where selfishness does
not play a dominant role; and jealousy and envy if seldom heard of as Love
should guide each thought, each word and deed, making certain for an
atmosphere of harmony and peace.
O -is for Open-mindedness: a trait each individual family member must possess
because opinions of a diverse nature will be expressed and must be taken
into respectful consideration; none to be overlooked or belittled or thought light
of or considered to be less important than another. Each one should be able
to express himself/herself without fear of being disowned or made to feel
inadequate or inept for that expression. Open-mindedness leaves the lines
of communication open for discussion that all may always feel welcome no
matter how those differences may manifest themselves. Open-mindedness
saturated in Love and influenced by Truth will keep Unity alive and family
members together.
M -is for Mindful: every member being motivated or encouraged to respect each
other and each other's personal property; do not haphazardly, unconsiderately
take "undue" advantage of another family member; if unsure about that
members thoughts on a certain subject or belongings, don't forget to Ask and
then in love, accept the resulting answer whether it's in your favor or what
you want to hear or not. Being mindful and considerate of others promotes
greater family Unity and division(destructive) will be non-existent.
E -is for Encouragement, edification, and empathy: each one should encourage
the other; edify or lift up; praise the other as well as be empathetic- be able
to place yourself in another members' shoes. Never assume anything! Be
sure of all things before making any major analysis of another member, or
making any criticism or judgment. As best as is possible, make Love the
central dominating power so that any word said from any thought con-
ceived and any deed done will be in direct correlation/alignment with what's
proper, decent and right.
H-O-M-E: Right prevails; Truth excels!
