Meaning of home vs house

I am going to tell you my perspective of a house vs home. A house to me is a physical structure with stuff in it that a normal house would have in it such as furniture, a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and more. A house to me is also a friend or family's house you are not very used too. Now a home to me is a place where I can go to feel comfort, happiness, love and joy. A home also does not have to be a structure but can be a group of people you love to be around or a place that you feel joy\happiness. Now a house may be full but feel empty and a home could be empty and feel full. A home could be empty with nothing around you but it could feel full because you may have memories or happiness shared there. Lastly my home is either my house or cottage because I have lots of memories shared, stories told and happiness brought up at those places. My home has my family which will always be there and I am grateful for the life I live at my home. A house is a structure with walls and a floor but home is a place to feel loved and warm. A House has 4 corners, furniture and more but a home is where memories get told and unfold. A house has a bed with blankets and a door but a home is where you share love for more. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for making families happy and doing great things.
