WELCOME TO CHATEAU DU MER BEACH RESORT

If this is your first time in my site, welcome! Chateau Du Mer is a beach house and a Conference Hall. The beach house could now accommodate 10 guests, six in the main floor and four in the first floor( air conditioned room). In addition, you can now reserve your vacation dates ahead and pay the rental fees via PayPal. I hope to see you soon in Marinduque- Home of the Morions and Heart of the Philippines. The photo above was taken during our first Garden Wedding ceremony at The Chateau Du Mer Gardens. I have also posted my favorite Filipino and American dishes and recipes in this site. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own, but I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights!

Home is Not a Place But in the Heart

Here's a repost of my previous posting that received a few comments on my FaceBook Page. I am reposting it,  inspired by our recent meal time conversations here at THD about the definition of what is HOME.  


Home is Not a Place, But in the Heart-Chateau Du Mer Video

 

Our Second Home in the Philippines-Chateau Du Mer- Boac, Marinduque

The homily in last Sunday's TV Mass( Heart of the Nation.org) was about Home, Love and Fear. The priest said that the opposite of love is not hate, but fear. The sermon reminded me of my favorite quote : Home is not a Place, but in the Heart. 

In this article, I like to list some of my favorite quotes about HOME.  https://www.shutterfly.com/ideas/quotes-about-home/

  • “Home is where our story begins…”
  • “Home is the starting place of love, hope and dreams.”
  • “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”
  • “Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.”
  • “A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams.”
  • “Home is not a place…it’s a feeling.”
  • “With you, I am home.”
  • “What I love most about my home is who I share it with.”
  • “There is nothing more important than a good, safe, secure home.”
  • “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.”
  • “There’s no place like home.”
  • “Where we love is home- home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”
  • “In this home… We do second chances. We do real. We do mistakes. We do I’m sorrys. We do loud really well. We do hugs. We do together best of all.”
  • “May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends.”
  • “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
  • “You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.”
  • “Bless out house as we come and go. Bless our home as the children grow. Bless our families as they gather in. Bless our home with love and friends.”
  • “Home is a shelter from storms-all sorts of storms.”-William J. Bennett
  • “Home is where one starts from.” –T.S. Eliot
  •  
  • Speaking of Home as a Place, here's an old article about the places where had a Home during our Residence here in the US.
