The Difference Between a House and a Home

Houses and homes are different. For example a house is where you have furniture and décor, rooms, chores, mortgage. And a home is where you have entertainment like books, toys, games, family pictures, a place to show your feelings. You have food, water, all those things. Well I don't know about you but I think that the most important part about home is being surrounded by people who love you and make you feel safe. So let's say Timmy was a little boy who thought that he was not loved in his house because his parents sometimes don't listen to him but he learned that his parents loved him very much. Home is where your parents protect you. Well in a home as I said, it's a place where you feel welcome because of course you live there. If I didn't live there and I was still your friend I would feel welcome but not as welcome as you would. So I think the meaning of home is where your loved by your family.
