It’s Not a House, It’s a Home

A simple house. Just built with no one living in it. As it waits for it’s time to become a home for a hopeful family, it sits patiently for someone to love it. Not just to be known as a roof over their head, but where they feel enriched. Soon, a young couple with a small child walk in, ready to call it their home. And that simple family had me. Because my home waited for us, it gave me the most intense sense of tranquility i have ever felt in my life. Home is not a house, but a designated place forever in my heart. It’s my love sanctuary, an oasis of dreams waiting to come true, and a display of hope and joy.
