What is Home?

A roof keeps out the storms. Four walls to block the wind. Floors to build a strong foundation. Yes, but your home is much more than that. It is the laughter of children, the caring of your mother, the strength of your father. The warmth of family love, light from joyful eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship. Home is the first school and first church for young ones, It is where they learn what is right and wrong, what is good and what is kind. Where they reside to for comfort when they are hurt or sick.Where the joy is shared and sorrow  is eased. Where mothers and fathers are respected and adored. Where children are actually wanted. Where the simplest kind of food is good enough for the kings, just because it is earned. Where your money is not as important as loving-kindness. Where even a teakettle sings from happiness.

That is home. God bless it.
