The Meaning of Home

Think about what makes a home? Is it the paintings, pictures? People don’t know, there is a difference between a house and a home, this paragraph contains why we all deserve a home, the difference between a house and a home and habitat for humanity. What makes a house a home? We think that a house and home are the same thing, they aren’t, they're different. When you first get the house its fresh, there’s work. Its those little touches that make it special. There’s an empty room, add furniture, furniture is added but if you add something handmade a painting or a craft then thats part of what a home is. A home is a home when you feel it is. The difference between a house and a home is…. A house is a place, it’s bare. Its a building on the block made of, bricks, wood, tile. A home is safe, personalized, that place where, memories hide, family, friends. A home makes you feel happy. You don’t know the meaning of a home until its, home Earlier I talked about how we all deserve homes right? A company called Habitat for humanity builds homes for people who are in need of help or homeless, if you believe that we all deserve a home then we need to help one another. You fall, your hurt, people help you, they take the steps back with you, they don’t leave you hurt. What if you didn’t help them, They’re getting overwhelmed, wondering. Can ever I get back up? Its sad. In the paragraphs that you read I hope you have reconsidered or thought more about what makes a house a home, the difference between a house and a home, Habitat for humanity and finally about why we all deserve a home.
