House vs. Home

House vs Home If a house were the five senses, I would see 4 walls and a roof. I would catch a faint smell of rusted beams inside the walls. I would hear the sound of the furnace running in the basement. I would feel the hardwood floors underneath my feet. I would taste a take-out meal from the restaurant across the street. If home were the 5 senses, I would see a beautiful backyard full of green grass and bright blue flowers. I would smell a home cooked meal straight out of the oven. I would hear the laughter of my family sitting around the fireplace. I would feel my family right beside me comforting me when I am sad. I would taste a big sip of hot chocolate on the coldest of winter nights. A house is usually a building with four walls and a roof, But a home can be anywhere whether it is in a basement or inside a house. A house is physical, But a home is in your mind. Anything can be a home as long as you consider it a home. Everybody deserves a home. I am thankful for Habitat For Humanity for providing families in need with a safe and comforting home. That is what home means to me.
