Home
Home is more than just a word in the dictionary. First, and
most basic, a house is a roof over peoples heads. Second,
a residence is a place to go and truly relax. Third, and most
important, a household is a place to laugh and cry with
loved ones.
A homes most basic trait is its ability to provide shelter
from weather. Rain or snow, a house will always be there.
In the cold times of the year, the heater will be there to
warm the house. The heat of the summer is no problem for
a good home. The ideal dwelling definitely must have a
dependable central air conditioner. When located in an
area abundant with tornadoes and hurricanes, a home must
have a safe place. A storm shelter or a basement is an
excellent place to hide.
Besides shelter from weather, a home will also provide
shelter from the storms of life. When work or school is just
too much to take, folks can go home, kick back, and
reflect on the good things they might have. Kids can go
home to hide from the bullies or the kids with cooties. No
matter what the problem is, going home and relaxing can
provide some relief from them.
The most important thing about home is that it is where
loved ones will be. On a good day, they will be there to
share. A household is a place to share a funny joke or a
good story. A haven is a place where people who care
about each other can share a quiet night. More important
than providing a place to share good times, a home also
provides a gathering place for people who care during bad
times. A family residence is a good place to get support for
the bad happenings in life. The bad times can range from
the death of a family member or friend to just a simple bad
day.
Home has many dictionary definitions, but the most important
definition is the one that comes from the heart. A home is a very
wonderful place to have available in times of need. When humanity
needs shelter from Mother Nature, home is there for them. When
folks just need a mothers shelter, home is where she is. Home is
and always will be what society makes it.
