Scrooge followed to the window: desperate in his curiosity. He looked out. The air was filled with phantoms, wandering hither and thither in restless haste, and moaning as they went. Every one of them wore chains like Marley’s Ghost; some few (they might be guilty governments) were linked together; none were free. Many had been personally known to Scrooge in their lives. He had been quite familiar with one old ghost, in a white waistcoat, with a monstrous iron safe attached to its ankle, who cried piteously at being unable to assist a wretched woman with an infant, whom it saw below, upon a door-step. The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power for ever.
Welcome home. In your absence, you were missed. Now that you have returned, though, things they are alright. Let us begin living again.
It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home.
Home Is Where Your Heart Is.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.
A house is made of bricks and beams, a home is made of love and dreams.
In this house we are a family. Love each other, be happy every day. Laugh a lot, respect one another. Use kind words, always tell the truth. Say please and thank you. Never give up. Keep your promise. Forgive even when its hard. Be truthful, positive and grateful. Try to keep these house rules.
Never close your lips to those whom you have opened your heart.
