What does home mean to me?

When the word home comes to your mind what do you think?Do you think of a safe place where you can have shelter and warmth or a place where you can have food, water and comfort. Well when I think of home this is what comes to mind… When I think of home I think of a place where I can be safe with a loving family that welcomes me when I get home and plays fun games and watches movies with me! I think of home as a place where I can have a cozy bed to lay in to rest and a place that is peaceful for reading! Home is a place where you have food, water, electricity and warm clothing along with heated water for showers and hand washing water! When I think of home I think that every house has something unique about it whether it's a cool basement or an awesome living room! There are some people in the world we live in and people in our communities that don't have all of that stuff that comes to your mind when you think of home because they are living on the street with no safety or a loving family with a warm home to eat food, shower and a comfy bed to lay in to sleep. They also don't have a warm meal to eat at lunch, breakfast and supper so some local churches around the world have created a warm building so that some homeless people can sit down for a bit and eat warm soup and food for a meal! Someday I would love to be able to help people in need and make sure that they have a safe place to stay and warm food to eat! That is what home means to me!
