Home and House

When I say home some people think of big fancy houses with pools and huge garages. But that's not a home. Home is somewhere warm and cozy it is a place filled with laughter and kindness. It's somewhere you feel safe and loved, happy and treasured. But a house is an empty building with walls and a roof. Some houses may have couches, lamps, and tables but home has joy. Most importantly home is family because it doesn't matter where you are or how big your house is. Home is with the people you love the most. So don't buy a house, build a home.
