Home for me is so many things.... its where my loved ones are, where memories of my loved ones are, the place on earth that I love... and so much more. Here are some quotes about home. I don't know the source of many of them, just heard them somewhere along this life's journey.
Home is a soft place to land.

Although I can no longer remember the source, one of my favorite "home" quotes is
"If heaven is my heavenly home, then shouldn't home be my earthly heaven?"
Oh Debbie I love the front porch. I can just see pots of beautiful flowers and a porch swing. :)

Debbie,
It's beautiful! I hope you have many wonderful years there with your hubby and make lots of new memories.
Beautiful quotes, Debbie. I always liked the 'soft place to land' one. If you can't be your true and comfortable self in your own home, where can you be?
Hi Debbie, :)
I have a few more for you:
"Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."
"Home is where the heart is."
For myself, I think a house is just a house, but it's the love and people inside the home that makes it a home. Anywhere one goes they can make it their home.
Although it's wonderful to have a nice place to live and pretty things to look at, it is all temporary and just "stuff". It's amazing how people can make do with very little in the world and still call wherever they are "home", even somewhere like a shack with dirt floors - it's because of the people and the love within.
I think here in America we are all quite spoiled with our material things. In this season of my life I am not a fan of "stuff", I actually want less of it. I'm probably not the norm (at least it seems that way out in bloggy land) but I'm not into decorating, collecting, and fancy things. I'm looking forward to an eternal home in heaven - no dusting, organizing, or cleaning! Sounds great to me! ;)
I like calling North Carolina home :)
