Come Together

What an amazing experience I had this past weekend. I have worked with Habitat several times before. But this one was different.

Why? First, it was in my own community! It really opened my eyes to the need that is right next door. Secondly, I worked side by side with strangers, but also with friends. Volunteering has always been a passion of mine...especially Habitat. There is something amazing that happens when people COME TOGETHER for a cause.

I don't know much about building houses, but just by being able to hammer a nail, to carry items, and in this case...to read directions (putting up a hospitality tent), I was able to HELP construct a house for a very deserving family.

My favorite part of a Habitat build is the framing section. The house begins to take shape and seeing people work together to lift a wall is just inspiring. Maybe Habitat isn't something you are interested in, but there are different areas of the community both on a local and global level that could use the skills God gave you.

Reach out! Speak up! Do Something!
