A House is Not a Home

The meaning of a Home is sometimes lost.
Its not just a place we live in.

Image via Wikipedia

A House is not a Home, or a Mansion or a Palace.

Home is a place where you feel happy loved and safe.

It’s not a Cottage in a valley or a Chateau on a hill, or a Castle on a hillside, were time can stand so still.

It’s the place we raised our children with tender love and care. The place if their in trouble, they’ll always find us there.

Home is just the place, were we all feel loved and safe.

    It is poverty that is the enemy of having a safe place to call home; It is my opinion that once a home is purchased that no tax can rightfully be used against it without violating morality itself; that the home should be held for life. That the idea of eminent domain is not morally right when it comes to a persons home.

    A beautiful description of a loving home. A house is too often the place that people go when they are tired of being nice to people.

    Good description of a home, something we should all aim for.
