Yesterday we were working at the home of the family we are serving. Last year we tore the families current home down before we started on their new home. This year there is enough room to allow the family to remain in their home until the new one is finished.
Their current home is built of discarded materials and wrapped in plastic. The front door looks like one am old farm house would have hosted. It is screen and has carved wood working as it's frame. About eye level, on the screen itself, are two hand prints made of white paint. Attached to the door on one of those hand prints is a picture of Christ.
As little as this family has the first thing they want you to see is that they serve our Lord and Savior. They are proud their home and what it represents regardless of its appearance.
It made me think about how far you have to walk into my house before you see a sign that my home is dedicated to our Lord and Savior.
How far do you have to walk into your own home before you show your dedication to your faith?
I have some decorating to do when I get home :0)
