True Meaning of Home

A home isn’t just a structure. It is a living thing. It is like your very own mini sized building to call your very own. You may think a home is just a structure with walls, doors and a roof. But that’s not all. A home is more special than you can ever imagine! Every home is special and unique. In a home, you don’t just place furniture in certain areas. You put things that are special and meaningful to you. When you look around, there are precious things to gaze upon. A home is a personal place to call your very own. It gives you warmth, shelter and love. Without homes we’d all be out there. In the cold, searching for a shelter to live in. The longer you stay in a home, the more memories you build. Pictures are an example of memories you’ve had. In a home you feel safe. A home isn’t a thing. It is life. There is life inside a home, and everyone deserves to have one. Even if your home is too small, and you wish it were bigger. Love your home no matter what. I always thought our home was too small. But now I’ve realized that many people don’t have a home like I do. I should be grateful for what a wonderful and cozy home I have. There are people out there, who don’t have a home like us. But they may have a certain area where they spend their most time in. It could be a junkyard or a landfill. Wherever they’re home is, they love it as much as we love ours. Love your home, and it will love you back!
