Your home, a shelter from the storm.

Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm,like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. Isaiah 31:3


Shelter from the wind.

Refuge from the storm.

Water in a desert.

Shade from the sun.

A Rock or hiding place.

My desire is that these words reflect the "heart" of my Home.

How can my home be a shelter/refuge/hiding place to my children?
