Home is…

Have you ever experienced having a home that doesn't feel safe or welcoming? Or did you need to live in a relative's house for a while?. Imagine, if you haven't experienced one of these issues then you are one of the lucky people in the world to still have at least a roof over your head and freshly baked food on the table. Some people in this world of ours don't have the experience of even having a decent meal. even if you never experienced one of these problems I bet you can still imagine, if you do have a safe, affordable, home that life out there isn't that easy to get through, even the richest people in the world still have their weak times where they don't feel like they can do anything and that there Hopeless. Right now places in the world are struggling with that kind of stuff. Habitat for Humanity helps people when they are going through the troubles of having no home. Do you miss the taste of crisp apples running juice down your hand as you take a juicy bite?, Or do you miss the stretch or a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. A home is a place where you can feel safe, cared for, loved, not judged on your appearance, accepted. That's what a real home is. Your family, your pets, even the old doll your mother used to hold as a child, This is your base, our favorite place, our beginning, and end to each day. It's your triumph and glory. These walls tell stories, as they soak up all we do and say, this is your space, each corner is laced with memories. This is home.
