You Can Come Home Now

Coming home to yourself

50
You Can Come Home Now
Laura Peck

Each morning is a new opportunity,

You can come home now.

Each step away is never too far,

You can come home now.

No matter what you have done or have neglected to do,

You can come home now,

You are welcome here.

"Welcome home," the Voice of Love says.

Come home to where you are safe and sound, where nothing can trap you or bring forth mountains of fear.

You can come home now, you are safe here.

And if you've been away, gone off like the Prodigal Son, you can still come home,

Now is better than ever.

You can come home now,

There are open arms waiting for you.

Arms out wide, we welcome you back in.

Welcome back to you,

The you that was made by the Creator of all things,

The you that has a purpose far beyond anything you could ever dream up, the you that houses the Living, the Divine.

Because guess what?

You were made good,

And you have always been good.

Come back home, let yourself be embraced and loved,

There is nothing too dirty, there is nothing too raw, there is nothing too much or too little,

Just as you are,

You are welcomed home.

You can come home to yourself now, to the you that you were created to be.

Rest in the arms of love,

These arms never fail, they are always holding you.

You can come home to yourself now, you can come home to love.

Thanks be to God.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
