An Underrated Blessing

Having a house is an underrated blessing. If you have not realized it yet,

you can go and ask any person who doesn’t have a house. Only then
will you realize what a great blessing it is to have a house. Houses do
not necessarily have to be luxuriously filled with the latest amenities. A
house is complete if you have a roof over your head.

Moreover, if you have your loved ones around, then there can be no
greater blessing. You must realize the importance of your house before
it gets too late. Even I never knew how precious my house was up until
one incident that changed my outlook.

We had house help growing up. The maid who used to work for us
always came early in the morning and would leave in the evening. Even
when my mother asked her to leave early as she completed the work on
time, she never did that. On the other hand, she used to do extra work.
Later we found out that she never really had a house. It was just a hut
which had one chair and one folding. And that she liked spending time
most of the time at our house because she had access to all basic
facilities like electricity and clean water.

This incident made me realize how I took my house for granted. It is

truly an underrated blessing which is overlooked by others. We must
value our homes before it gets too late.
