What is a home?

There are many great and wonderful quotes and words of wisdom about what home means to people. Some example:

Home is where our story begins…

Here is another one

Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.

Here's another one:

Bless out house as we come and go. Bless our home as the children grow. Bless our families as they gather in. Bless our home with love and friends.

On my drive into work this morning, I saw this mobile-home-looking-shelter in the back of the truck on the lane next to mine. As we approached the stop sign, I took a picture of it with my iPhone because it strike a chord with me. You see, I moved down to the Philadelphia suburbia area for more than three years now. Both my wife and I have good jobs in the area. Our children are well-fed. We had aimed to find ourselves a home in the area, but we have been searching that whole time and we have not bought one. We were close, but we couldn't reach the finish line. There was the home where the owner was "too busy playing golf" to sign the paperwork, there was the home that we haggled the last $5,000 between asking and offer, and there are so many others that we find minute points here and there as to why it was a bad choice. We always came up short.

I believe that homeowner is the path to stability. And maybe, perhaps, we are not ready to settle down in the area just yet. Hopefully we will soon, as we are no longer young and our children are growing older.

Home sweet home. This is the place to find happiness. If one doesn't find it here, one doesn't find it anywhere.

Please let me find you, HOME!

The house is like a Heaven for its inhabitants, where the house is a place full of comfort. Tranquility, and certainly filled with happiness too, so that if they consider the house no longer as a comfortable place, then they must again find the Way home to return. Hopefully you are always in happiness

Home is the place where your heart leads you to return.
