Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest.
~Henry Van Dyke

Little girl why are you running so hard? Do you think this world can give you more than your family? Despite what you feel, they love you so much. I have seen their tears since you have gone. Quit running to fill that empty space with in. The world will never fill that deep, dark, hole.

Little girl, I know you have been hurt by life’s cruel and harsh ways. There is only one place which will understand you. The streets are not your friend. It will only bring you to a place of utter devastation. You are running so hard, that you fail to see what you have right in front of your face. I have only one thing to say and that is...

Come Home

You there young husband enticed by the harlot, I am talking to you my friend. She will only destroy the very foundation of your soul. For a minutes pleasure, you choose to give up all that you have been given. I promise, It is not worth the pain in the end.

Young man it is never too late to ask forgiveness. There is always hope. Don't listen to the lie inside your head, telling you all is lost. Do not give up so easily. Somehow you have to forgive yourself. If someone is willing to take you back, you must try. The thing you have done is only a symptom of something deeper. You have to find what that something is. Everyone falls and now it is time for you to get up and .....

Come Home

My sweet young mother with eyes full of tears. Don’t let the promise of a wicked man entice you to walk away from your babies and your home. I know it is has been hard. You feel so all alone. Some days you feel as if you are carrying the world on you shoulders. Find a way to reach out for help. No man will replace those little ones. You will find yourself in a dark place and there will be no going back. The loss will be too much to bear. One day that spirit of deception will be lifted and you will find yourself naked, exposed to the truth of what you have done.  Recognise the ploy and deception now that is standing before you before it is too late. It is a snare that only you can avoid. With all my heart I am telling you to stop and...

Come Home

Mr.Man, those moments of pleasure in your flesh, are only stealing your life minute by minute. This wretched bottle is leaving you empty and without the warmth of home. Take a stand, let it go, and admit you need help. Mr. Man with the bottle in your hand, this poison will not hold you in the night nor fulfill the promises it has made. It will not comfort you when you are old. When will you realize that this cold bottle in your hand will only destroy you in the end? Losing the life you have been given is not worth the sorrow this bottle promises. We are calling you to

Come Home

You there young boy, smoking that funky weed! Yes, I see you! Do you not realize it is only taking you to depths of hell on earth? You have so much more to offer in this world. Do not let others entice you to ruin your mind and body. Be strong! Before you go down this path of wicked yearnings, know it is not too late.

Young boy, think about the nights you will spend alone in the jail cell, waiting for someone to save you. You will be left to your own devices. It is a road you shall ever regret. You have such a wonderful creative mind to be used for good. Don't throw away that gift. I beg you to...

Come Home.

My dear lonely soul, your life is worth more than you know. It is not up to you to take it tonight. I am here! Help is on the way. Don’t let the deceptive thoughts encourage you to end your life. It is only a lie.  It is a gift that you have breath inside. People will let you down but nothing is worth taking your own life tonight. I know life has been hard and you feel there is no other way. I promise, there is a road worth taking..It is the road of life. Pick up the phone. I employ you my love please...

Come Home.

Thank you Stessily,

It is my wish for everyone on this earth that they would feel they could come home but to a home of healing and love,

Sometimes that home is within theirselves...the practical side of a material home is only an added bonus.

Thank you so much my friend,

Sunnie

Sunnie, This is a masterpiece of deep compassion! You very effectively and beautifully weave in your refrain "Come home."

If only there were a way to call home all those in pain. This is a heartfelt call that sees beyond appearances and speaks heart to heart.

The last paragraph is compelling and touching: "I know life has been hard and you feel there is no other way. I promise, there is a road worth taking..It is the road of life."

OneRepublic's "Come Home" is hauntingly beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Kind regards, Stessily

Dear Sharyn and Mck,

Being a nurse I would like to think I am sort of a good listener. There has not been too much that I have not had cross my path.Nothing surprises me. You learn that life is not perfect and people are hurting from their mistakes. So many running..I have been through my share but would like to think I have come through..and pray that I can say the things I needed to hear or have said comforting things to others so they just feel better and know they are not alone..I don't know Mck about counselor..lol..just a good friend I would hope..I have always went after the underdog, the undesirable, and the lost..because we all could be one step away from any of those things. Thank you both as always for reading..I feel kind of weird now..I wasn't trying to seem as if I know anything..it is only words that I think I would want to hear in those situations.

God Bless,

Sunnie

Dear Sunnie,

Your writing is so inspiring and calming and thought provoking ~ to say the least. I realize this written piece reaches out to many . . . men and woman, young and old, different problems, different reasons to run, etc. But I am reading in between the lines and pray that one day soon, your personal wish comes true. And that beautiful smile on your face becomes even bigger than you can imagine today. Best wishes always,

Sharyn

Hi Mck,

I guess I just got discouraged but one day may find small fellowship that will be better for me. Oh about composting..the chicken poo is suppose to be really good but can burn the veggies so will start composting for next spring..Will keep you posted...would send you some tomatoes if you were near..they are coming in fast..

Have a good night.

Home is where the heart is at rest and the heart can only be at rest when we are at peace with God and ourselves and our families.

This hub is such a warm and loving invitation for people to pause and redirect. Who among us has not needed that kind of encouragment at one time or another? Not strong and judgmental, but a soft and kind nudge. Up and awesome, thank you!

Very well said Neelesh, I always believed home is where you hang your hat and staying true to ones self. Some run from themselves and think they are running from others because their happiness was dependent on others..all the while they just needed to find their heart. thanks so much for your visit and awesome comment.

Have a great day,

Sunnie

yes home is what we all yearn for and home is what we all stray from.

but the ultimate home is within ourselves and if we are true to that home we shall never stray from our loves and our relationships.

Dear Daydreamer,

I thank you so much for taking the time to read this. It is something one may want to say to someone they love or care about. You hate to see someone hurting and falling with no end in sight. Thank you again. May God Bless you today.

This is so like the expression: The grass is greener on the other side, or, you don't appreciate what you have while you have it until you lose it.

Lovely prose, from many different angles and perspectives.

It really is true, there's no place like home.

Lovely hub. Voted up!

Sunnie your words flow freely

From your kind and open heart.

Your precious soul shines right through

I knew this from the very start.

Your heart is warm and big as houses

Your personality warms us all.

For your support we only have to ask

Because your love stands strong and tall.

This Sunnie is beautiful as your hubs always are.

I have been catching up on my reading today and I am always amazed at the talent on here.

What however is so refreshing is the love and care that is given and shown.

If the whole world took a leaf out of our caring community on here, I am sure it would instantly become a better place to live in.

Thank you Sunnie for allowing me to share in your kind nature and unique talent.

Take care and God bless.

Eiddwen.

Good morning Sunnie. There is another Hub this morning entitled 'An Insanely Inspiring Hub'. I think that title belongs here. What a strong message. Find a way to bottle these messages and your finances are set.
