What Is A Home? ...not a place for reasoning? 

The following is a very touching letter sent to me by a friend. It was written by the father of a girl, named Ping Er, who was about to be married. In the letter, Ping Er's father gave her a very precious gift, i.e. his advice on what a home is from his personal experiences. 

The last paragraph is even more meaningful as it tells of what love is all about. This letter was read on Ping ER's wedding day. It was the most solemn wedding ever as all the guests were so moved by the love and words of Ping Er's parents, who could not attend her wedding because it was held out of their hometown.

 

 

1 Corinthians 13

⁴Love is patient, 
love is kind. 
It does not envy, 
it does not boast, 
it is not proud. 

⁵It is not rude, 
it is not self-seeking, 
it is not easily angered, 
it keeps no record of wrongs. 

⁶Love does not delight in evil 
but rejoices with the truth. 

⁷It always protects, 
always trusts, 
always hopes, 
always perseveres.

⁸Love never fails. 

¹³And now these three remain: 
faith, 
hope and 
love. 
But the greatest of these is love.

Psalms127

¹Unless the LORD builds the house, 
They labor in vain who build it;

²Unless the LORD guards the city, 
The watchman keeps awake in vain."
