There is a foundation, some walls, a roof, and a bunch of "junk" or treasure, depending on who you ask. We spend a lifetime collecting things. We frequent the home interior store, we spend thousands on furniture that we may not need, and we never get rid of anything (unless it is to the garage).
But do these things really matter when all is done? I heard some say once that when you leave this world, the hearse will not be carrying a U-Haul trailer. The things you worked so hard for will pass away and rot and become corroded.
So the question is, what is in a house? The most important thing in a home is our family. We must make sure that we spend quality time with our loved ones. A home can burn down, be sold, or even foreclosed on. But if we treat our families like we should and love them like we should, those things will never pass away. You can be the richest man in the world, or in the greatest position ever, and if you do not cherish your family, you will die lonely and with no legacy to leave behind. Just a thought to a real question.

Great post James. It's so true sometimes we can get bogged down with all the little stuff and forget about the Big Stuff. I truly want to stay focused on what really matters. I want to truly have a home not just a house. Thanks for the encouraging word.
That is so true. My house is not the greatest, but I could live in a cardboard box as long as I have my beautiful wife and 2 sweet girls. Thanks for the word James.
wow!!!!!!!!!!! i needed this, thanks james!
