The Difference Between a Home and a House

In a home there is love, warmth and laughter. In a house it's only four walls, a floor and dusty rafters. In a home you are happy and at ease. In a house there is furniture, and a door closed with keys. Habitat for humanity builds you a house. They include all the furnishings for you and your spouse. A home is full of people that you love. A house is just a building with a roof above. A home is your safe haven where you can really stay. If you have a house but no home, in your heart, the pressure can really weigh. A home is a place where you can be yourself. A house has a carpet, table, and a bookshelf. A home you cannot sell or rent. A house has a bedroom and a basement. A home is where love and compassion are shown. A house is made of wood, metal, or stone. At my home i feel happy, welcomed and accepted. If I had none I'd feel sad, which is expected. Habitat for Humanity helps you make a Fresh Start. So you can relax and refresh your heart. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for every thing you do Making people's lives better and helping them through
