A military chaplain told me the following story:'A soldier's little girl, whose father was being moved to a distant post, was sitting at the airport among her family's meager belongings.The girl was sleepy. She leaned against the packs and duffel bags.A lady came by, stopped, and patted her on the head.'Poor child,' she said. 'You haven't got a home.'The child looked up in surprise.But we do have a home,' she said. 'We just don't have a house to put it in.
A military chaplain recounted a touching encounter at an airport involving a little girl whose soldier father was being relocated. As her family waited amidst their few belongings, the girl was sleepy and leaned against their bags. A passerby noticed her and expressed sympathy, implying the girl lacked a home.
In response, the girl surprised her by stating that they indeed had a home, even though they were without a house at that moment. This poignant moment highlights the concept of home not necessarily being tied to a physical structure, but rather the sense of belonging and love within a family.
