This is the face of a man who has been given hope, love, safety, a future, security, dreams, and a house. When you are a builder with Homes of Hope you get to build a lot of houses so it can become a regular thing. Well the last house build that I was on really helped remind me what I came for. I got the opportunity to tell the father that the building team wanted to take him and his family grocery shopping. As I told him the look on his face made me stop and think. "This is why we do this." Not to put another notch on the hammer just to say that we have built one more house, not just to say we've been to Mexico but to help a family in need, to show the love of God to a family. I was reminded of what it means being God's hands and feet. It's a blessing and a privilege to be serving God. Building that house was worth it just to see the look on Antonio's face as he found out that he was receiving more love than he thought.I wonder what our reaction would be if we realized how much loving we got from God on a daily basis? Just a little food for thought.
