Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole …nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it …it was a hobbit hole, and that means comfort.
— J. R. R. Tolkien
Home is a place of comfort. When we go away and have to adjust to a different bed and someone else’s cooking, we quickly discover how comfortable our own home is. Comfort in a home is more than just a familiar bed and favorite food, it is something we can give to each other. We can make home a place where we can relax and be ourselves without fear of rejection.
Each of us needs a special little place where we can come and seek refuge from the world, our own little “fort.” Children are often busy making “forts,” but all of us in the family need to work at making the place where we live together a fort where we can all gather for rest.
What can I add to our comfort today?
