Essence of a Home

What more would anyone need?
Some people make it much to difficult.

The house sitting on that hillside
Overlooking the valley below
Is a place for friends and family
A special place people love to go

Take a real close look at it
You can tell it was built with love
You can feel the strong essence inside
Soft and warm like the sun above

Never meant to be a show place
That simple house of wood and stone
Nothing more than what was needed
To make that house into a home

They didn't need an architect
They already had the plan that starts
Construction of the home of their dreams
They had our Lord deep down in their hearts

SO VERY TRUE PAUL...A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME BUT IT IS THE 'LOVE' THAT GOES INTO THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE KEEPING OF IT...THAT MAKES IT A HOME. WELL DONE, MY FRIEND AND THIS ONE I WILL KEEP. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

A home is more than its materials. It is a place where family resides and grows. Lovely thought for a lovely poem.

Hey Paul,

Great poem about the home. We are looking for heaven on earth. Without Jesus we will never be able to compare the two.
Keep the faith strong!

Peace, love and blessings from your brother in Christ,

John Michael

So true to speak of houses and homes. There are miles between when the Lord and love are missing! Lovely write. Be well, Kathy

I see many fine houses all the time and I wonder how many of them are also homes. The latter is the more important as you have stated via your verses here, Paul. Love and peace to you,

Regis
