"What Is Daily Bread?" was central to Mr. Kern's Chapel message today, and as he went through Luther's list of examples for daily bread in the Catechism, he raised another question with the children:

 

"What is the difference between house and home ?" All three answers below came from children in our younger grades and in the order that I printed them. God bless the children.

 

 "Your house is where you live, but home is your family." (That's what I would have said.)

 

 "A house is a building where anybody can live, but home is where I live." (I had not thought of it that way before, and I like that answer even better.)

 

 But thank you especially to Abbey in 2nd grade who explained it in a way I've never thought of:

 

"A house is where we live now, but heaven is our home."

 

(As noted above, this one is from the archives, first e-mailed on the List Serve on February 15, 2006.  I plan to post a few This Is Most Certainly True "oldies" over the summer, and this is the first one.  I'm posting ones that, based on positive e-mail responses I received when they first appeared, seem to have resonated with some on the List Serve at that time.)
