1. “May your troubles be less and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.” – Irish Blessing
2. “May this home be a place of happiness and health; of contentment, generosity and home; a home of creativity and kindness. May those who visit and those who live here know only blessing and peace.” – Unknown
3. “May all who enter do so with a happy heart. May all who live here be showered with love and sheltered by hope, graced each day with a grateful spirit. And through life’s trials, may each heart keep its compassion, comforted by the peace kept within these walls.” – Jennifer Williamson
4. “May this home be blessed with the laughter of children, the warmth of a close family, hope for the future and fond memories of the past.” – Unknown

11. “May this home be blessed. May good fortune follow those who pass through this door. May this floor lighten the steps of all who tread upon its surface and also provide a stable place to stand. May these walls soak in the rich sounds of laughter and loving, and offer protection from the fiercest winds. May this roof hold strong and these roots sink deep. This is home: A place of safety and joy, a place to rest and create, a place for me.” – Unknown
12. “Bread, that this house may never know hunger. Salt, that life may always have flavor. And wine, that joy and prosperity may reign forever.” – It’s a Wonderful Life
“Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

14. “May this home be where you come back to feel alive, not a place to store your worries but a place to let joy thrive. May any darkness be graced with light and may you find comfort and rest each night. May this home be more than a collection of rooms; may this be a space to let love bloom.” – Jennifer Williamson
15. “May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam. May peace and plenty bless your world, with joy that long endures. May all life’s passing seasons bring the best to you and yours.” – Irish Blessing

I love so many of these. A neighbor dropped this one in our mailbox when we first moved in 30 years ago. Do you know its origins (says author unknown)?:
BLESSINGS ON A HOUSE
Measureless the starry heights,
Measureless the depths of earth,
and about us everywhere
Light receiving, warmed by wonder,
Spirits weave man’s destiny
May the shelter of this house
Be a place of wakening
Peace within us, Peace among us
May nothing evil cross this door and may
ill-fortune never pry about these windows
May the roar and rains go by
Strengthened by faith, these rafters will
withstand the battering of the storm
This hearth, though all the world grow dull, will keep us warm.
Peace shall walk softly through these rooms,
Touching our lips with holy wine
while every casual corner blooms into a shrine.
Laughter shall drown the raucous shout
and though these sheltering walls are thin,
May they
be
Strong to Keep
Hate out and Hold
Love in

My fav is #14 (yours)! On my way to a house blessing today (friend moved due to abuse). I googled “house blessings” And feel that LOVE-G-d-divine order-(whatever you call the holy) Led me here😁. I am a songwriter, so, with your permission, I will put your words to music?
I would also like to gift you —and anyone who reads THIS – a free link to my song HOME (is where your heart is). (Share my email if this feels right). Thank you so very much Jennifer. Have a blessed day.

I loved #2 because a home with humanity and generosity is a divine place to live in. The World needs such many many homes to spread love and humanity.
All other thoughts are also really good.
