Difference Between a Home and a House

A house is what people build. A home does not need to be built with silt. A house is a structure that stands. A home has love that lasts. A house is a place that can shake and break. A home has mistakes that can always be taken care of. Sometimes a house can feel lonely and sad. But a home is a comfortable place that is holy and Godly with people's laughter. A house smells like bricks or wood. A home smells like baked cookies fresh out of the oven. A house is a physical structure with a roof, walls, and foundation that provides shelter. A home is where you can keep memories, and feel a sense of belonging. A house is not perfect without God. A home is made by God who draws your future. A house can be one of your dreams. A home is a reality. A house stands on its own. A home has a family that loves you. Without love from above a house might be flat. But a home stands on faith it's where blessings are kept. A house is where people are welcome. A home is where a family makes other families feel welcome. A house is a structure that is soundless. A home has the sound of prayer, joy, and peace. I pray that everyone's home will be safe and happy so there will be no conflict in God's world. I thank Habitat for Humanity for building homes for people.
