A House is Not a Home

A house is a place where you find nice, new, shiny things, but a home is a place where you’re loved. A house is not a home. A house is a place where you find treats and toys, but a home is a place where you find laughter and joy. A house is not a home. A house is a place where you find money and books, but a home is a place where you find memories in yearbooks. A house is not a home. A house is a place where you can lock the door, but a home is a place that means a lot more. A house is not a home. There is one thing that a house and a home might have in common: it is that they both might put a roof over your head, but the big difference is that you feel safe and loved in your home. A house is not a home.
