Give Thanks

We're still waiting with hoping hearts for board members to find their way to us. Ed has also been out tirelessly recruiting. We have many hands ready to swing a hammer, but not enough people willing to give some time to prayerfully steering our course.

Each blog I hope to add a video from YouTube or GodTube that helps illustrate our theme. Last time it was "Lifesong" by Casting Crowns. This is Ed's lifesong to God and to the earth. I have faith that God will make it all come together in His perfect timing.

Waiting is hard though. "Leah" and her daughters are spending another winter in borrowed quarters. The older daughter is growing and it must be hard knowing the place they're staying is not really theirs. The infant, Mary, is starting to get around and form memories. Wouldn't it be great if those memories could be in the little home her mom and late grandpa made for her?

I'm going to take a little step out and post two short videos. One is a spoken word poem called "Faith" by Sean Camoni of New Jersey, one of my favorite spoken word artists on YouTube.



Faith is "a hammer and nails to put up the walls/careful construction the house never falls."

"Hope for a home/faith can finish the roof."

He calls us to be His hands and feet.

Can we show Leah and her little family the "evidence of providence?"

The other video I want to send out to all you board members is the Canadian band "downhere" with their song, "Little is Much." Any little bit you can give in faith to your friends and neighbors, He will multiply.

Thank you for your prayers, your offers, your hands, your evidence of heaven in our neighborhood. I pray that God blesses you every day -- He does: sometimes you have to look around for it.
