Home: where the heart is

How true is the saying ” A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams.”

The building in this photograph was newly constructed, and when people began to move in, you could see it steadily filling up and, before you knew it, it had become a home for a large number of people.

Few would have relocated in gaining more space, while some would have done the opposite. Each one arrives full of hope, happiness, and hopes for a better future. It’s a wonderful feeling to see a house transform into a home as things begin to fall into place piece by piece as you fill it with love and care. As they begin a new life each household would have a unique narrative to tell: coming home tired from a long day’s work, a hectic day in the kitchen, children squabbling with their siblings or conflicts over the silliest topics.

There is a lot that goes on within the four walls of a house: laughter, tears, stories to tell your family and friends, or merely keeping secrets to maintain the peace. You can live in a modest apartment or a swanky mansion, but the warmth of a home is shaped not only by the people who live there, but also by their love and care for one another, without which everything falls apart.

I hope your home is filled with love, joy, blessings, and lovely memories that can be passed down through generations!
