A House Is Different Than A Home

A House Is Different Than A Home By Lucia, written with love and gratitude <3 A house is simply a house, you know, a structure that stands in a neighborhood. Until a smiling family moves in… A home is a comfort zone with peace and happiness within. A home is making family memories year by year. In my home there is always someone to wipe away my tears. Some people's homes are big and grand, while others are so old and wrecked they barely stand. Everyone should have a place to stay, even if it’s a little far away. Big or small just a home will do, to make others safe, warm and fortunate like you. Yes, mistakes happen, but no matter who you are, everyone deserves a home close or far. Imagine you being that person without a home, all alone, and not having enough currency to even use the payphone? If happiness is such a common word, the feeling should be as well. No matter how small your home is or old or faraway, look at the big picture of life: You have somewhere to stay. So if everyone had a place to stay, the world would be quite okay. If you donate just a little for people who need somewhere to stay, others will be so grateful and realize what we have each day. Dollar by dollar, you can help, be their hero, believe in yourself.
