Dec 2025_The Way Back Home

(One) Nam Hwa-yeon / South Korea
As a child, I lived in a mountain village in Gangwon Province. Back then, when traveling by foot was simply part of everyday life, I would walk ten to twenty kilometers without hesitation. I remember carrying a yellow kettle to pick wild grapes and hardy kiwi, wandering deep into the mountains, and returning home with weary steps. Home was the day’s final destination—a warm sanctuary that welcomed me. Reflecting on how the place where my parents are has always been my safest refuge, my heart fills with joy as I think of my heavenly home, where I will one day dwell with my Spiritual Father and Mother.

(Two) Heo Eun-yeong / South Korea
I remember a time in my childhood when I got lost, wandering about as I tried to find my way home. The fear of not being able to return was so intense that I fell ill the next day and could hardly move. Spiritually, I sometimes feel the same fear—that I might not be able to reach our true home, heaven. In those moments, the encouragement of Heavenly Mother reassures me and fills me with the confidence that I will safely arrive at my heavenly home.

(Three) Park Suk-jin / Souuth Korea
As I read the story, I felt tense and anxious, as if I were traveling the road to Wonju myself. When they finally returned home safely, I could almost feel the warmth of the house. Perhaps, when we reach our eternal home in heaven, the events of this life will seem like small episodes we can look back on and smile. I long for the day I can return to our heavenly home, embraced by the love of Father and Mother.
