My home is not the most expensive in the world but it is home in every sense of the word. It has a lot of love within these walls. It keeps me warm in the cold of winter with the fireplace in my den. I have beautiful sunlight that comes through my big picture window in the morning. She may be looking a little tired and needs some new paint but she is beautiful to me. I walk out my door and I have peace of knowing that she will be here to welcome me when I return. The swing in the front yard is a quiet place to just "be". My sons come home each day and they have their own quiet space to go to if they want, but let company come and they are willing to "camp out" in the den. Since the "company" is usually one of their siblings, they are more then happy to share. We are surrounded by family and love. The boys have Grandma and Grandpa on one side of us and Aunt Peggy on the other. With almost a 150 acres to tromp over and five fishing ponds they are in boy paradise. They have their cousin Amy across the street to pick on and go swimming with in the summer. And plenty of room to ride their go-cart. But the most important thing about my house is that Gods lives here as well.
Your home is a wonderful home. I'm proud to say we are welcomed there and feel it every time we're able to visit. Much love does live within those walls and that is worth more than any value sign put in front of it. :) Paint, elbow grease, and paitence would make it look brand new, but the way it is now is perfect.
