A Decent Place to Live
I've done various Habitat for Humanity work. Establishing a Habitat affiliate in southern Indiana was demanding work. It still feels like some of the best work of my pastoral life. Throughout this week we are focusing our devotional life on “A Decent Place to Live.”
Here in this grand American culture there are people who work very hard,
Who have learned how to curb their spending, refusing the lure of a credit card.
They dream of saving enough so that someday they might have
A home of their own that could serve as a bit of healing salve.
For all the challenges they may face in their labors each and every day are out of reach
Unless there are those who will learn the secrets of home building the Habitat way.
Why not take some time and learn about the vision of Habitat, my friend,
And build your Habitat story, an act of mercy that will never, ever end.
