A Home


A military chaplain told 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."
