Today, I was reminded of one of the most poignant expressions of gratitude that one can experience. Opening your home to those you appreciate or in an effort to show kindness is a huge gesture.
Our homes are our sanctuaries, our refuges, the place where privacy is expected and, in most cases, guaranteed. When we open our homes to those we appreciate we effectively give thanks and offer a warmth that is uniquely special to the home.
Gratitude is best expressed through action and when we welcome people into our homes, we are saying welcome, but we are also saying, thank you, you are safe, you are not judged, you are present and you are important.
The home is personal space, but a lot of good can be done by opening your door.
