What Is Home? Discovering Where You Truly Belong Beyond Four Walls | E2 S3
What does "HOME" mean to you?
Yesterday, I had the honor of gifting an incredible team member of a non-profit organization, called Elrethia's House of Purpose, with a belated Christmas present. Though I’d meant to give it to them weeks ago, divine timing made yesterday the perfect moment. While dropping off donations, I caught up with Ms. Ruth, Elrethia's House of Purpose's inspiring founder, and had the chance to volunteer alongside her amazing team.
As we worked, we shared our New Year’s resolutions—one being to care for ourselves more, another to deepen our faith, and a third to face our greatest fears and embrace a fulfilling life. When I asked the team member what they were most proud of heading into 2025, they spoke of their resilience and their journey at Elrethia's House of Purpose, transforming from someone finding their way to a leader creating meaningful impact. They said, “I finally feel at home.”
Smiling, I handed them the gift, urging them to open it. Curious and excited, they revealed a wooden sign that read: "THIS IS HOME." It symbolized so much more than a dwelling—it was about finding safety, love, and self-assurance.
In that moment, I realized the gift wasn’t just for them. As a former military kid who never felt truly at home, I finally felt what it was—safe, connected, and right where I belonged. This is home—for the both of us.
Home is more than a place; it’s a feeling, a community, and an experience of joy and peace. Yesterday reminded me of the beauty of creating that sense of home for others and myself.
THIS IS HOME
