Meaning of Home

A home is more than just a house. It can be difficult to develop a love for a new house. You will learn to love your house because it develops a love for you. Your house comforts you in ways you may not be aware of. It gives you beds to sleep on and a roof to keep you dry. Nobody can change the love and care you have for your house. When you get house, you make it home. Decorate the walls until satisfaction, sit on the couch until you fall asleep, make this new place your home. A house is a building, a home is a building with a heart and an unlimited love for you and what you make of this new place. Do whatever you desire to make this place feel like a safe and amiable place to live. Big or small, bland or decorative, get a house and make it a home to call your very own. My home is safe which makes me feel comfortable and out of harm's way. Things go wrong and when I am talked to I feel very strong. In my house there is nobody to talk to, in my home courtesy fills the air. When I am listened to, I glisten with happiness. When I walk into my home I see all the bright colors and decorations, when I see these things, I know I am safe at home. The most important thing that makes my house is the love that fills my home. We build each other up and push each other through the tough parts. Siblings and parents can be very hard to deal with but we all love our family so we kind of have to learn to love them. Families are forever so no matter how upset I will ever get at one of my family members I will always remember how much they mean to be. I can not imagine my life without the love I receive from my family. Family is a big part of what makes me feel at home. My family is my home. My family is my home, my home lives in my house. When I am around my family I feel safe and not alone. My home is bare with my family lounging on chairs. I love my family and nothing in the world will ever change that for me. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for giving people all around the world opportunities to thrive and take a deep dive into the rest of their lives. You give people a house for them to make a home that they feel safe and comforted in! Thank you!
