Home is Not a Building

A home is not just somewhere to stay. It's a place where you share love and joy with your loved ones. We can move, but memories will never be lost. Houses may be modern and fancy, but home has love from all your family. A home is not just somewhere to eat, it's where laughter and happiness fills you up all around the halls. A home is not just somewhere to watch tv, it's where your mom makes delightful meals that fills the kitchen with aromas. A home is not just somewhere we work, it's somewhere that you can tell your siblings funny jokes and laugh the whole night long. A home is not just somewhere to clean, it's somewhere that you and your family can play board games on movie night and watch the shows that you love the most. A home is not somewhere to be on electronics all night, it's somewhere where you and all your siblings can have sleepovers and eat popcorn all night without any stops. Houses may be beautiful and organized with furniture, but home is where you and your friends and siblings can play soccer and volleyball in the yard on sunny Saturday mornings. Thank you to Habitat for Humanity for giving thousands of people another chance to have a home.
