A House May be Expensive But a Home is Priceless

A house may have fancy chandeliers and expensive furniture but a home has family and love, joy and memories, and that has no cost. It may seem nice to live in luxurious places, but it's better to live with family. If you live in a house or a fancy hotel you might have expenses, and high tech but still, no happiness. You can live in a house but not happily in a house. You can break the bank, buying expensive meals, and designer clothes, but it's no better than the family recipes, and homemade knitted sweaters. You can buy all of that expensive stuff, except this. You can’t buy family and joy, love and memories, laughter, and jokes too. because that stuff is priceless. If you want your house to be a home, add some pets, and homemade crafts, throw in some love, and special people, and throw out all your thoughts about the fancy decorations, and refill them with thoughts about how much you love your family. Now the home you made is better than the money and wealth. And remember, moving is not LEAVING a home but getting a new one to enjoy. But your old home will ALWAYS be home. Moving is a synonym for restarting, not a synonym for leaving behind. In my opinion, all people should live in a home, not a house, but for now a lot of people don’t Have a home or even a house! But thanks to Habitat For Humanity they provide HOMES and not houses for a lot of the people in need. One home after another!
