It’s time to think

A house is made of walls and beans, but a home is built with love and dreams

This quote gives us an idea of what house and home mean. I’ll try to clarify it for you. As I understand, the house for us is just the place where we live or stay.

But the idea of the home means the place where we feel comfortable and cozy or maybe people whom we give love and from whom we get it.

Moreover, I notice one of important differences between these two terms. It’s the verbs which are used to describe them. To make and to build, it means that the house we buy already is built by somebody, but our home we build ourselves by making a certain atmosphere and pushing efforts to make our family feel perfect. We, ourselves, make it warm and comfortable to be there.

Thank you!
