It is amazing what can be done by a group of people who are committed to the same goal and agree to work together in community. Our group is very diverse and yet we have been able to work together very well in this build. Different people with different gifts using their talents and abilities to the betterment of the whole....it really is enjoyable to be a part of this type of group. Everyone is agreeable when asked to do a job whether it will receive any notice from others or not. I found that some of the most enjoyable jobs were ones that I knew that no one else would even know about, but I did, and I figured that our God in heaven would know about it too.
As you can tell from the picture of my daughter and her friend here on site, even though the wood and nails and paint are making a new home for some people, it is still about loving others. The children played soccer together (Thanks to themissionball.org) and enjoyed building some new relationships.
I hope that your Christmas was one of old and new relationships being nurtured in the best way possible. You never know how long we'll have with each other here on earth so it is important to keep the relationships strong and open.
This is Dec. 28 and we only have to get some furniture and turn the keys over and our house is finished. We have planned a block party this afternoon for about 28 children around our compound, so we were busy last night getting all the treat, or should I say, fruit bags ready. Enjoy the day that God has given you, and be glad in it.
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
