Building or a Home?

Home is not just 4 walls and a roof. Home is not just where you go to bed at night. Home is not even where you take shelter from the outside world. Home is all of those things and trust me they play a big part. But home is a place where you can express yourself. A way to let out everything in your heart. Home is there to keep you safe even in your darkest moments. Where you watch the sun go down and the moon come out each night. Home is where you rest under a warm blanket after fighting the day's opponents. Home isn’t how big your house is, it's the things and memories you carry that matter. I cry for the people who don't have a family to support you, I pray for the people who don’t have a house to live and be safe in. I’m so grateful for the people of the meaning of home program to stop this pattern. Home is where you can make food with your family. Whether traditional or not. Home is where you eat fresh food, drink clean water and treat happily. Home is when you’re allowed to be yourself and be true to your passions. Home is when you go to bed and wake up to a friendly face. Where your family supports and cherishes you in their own fashion. Home is where only one thing matters, a family you can’t replace.
