Service and hospitality

  Today we learned about Habitat for Humanity. 

  Habitat for Humanity is an international organization now, and people in this organization are volunteer to help homeless or poor people to build a house for their own. This organization was started by Millard and Linda Fuller in 1976. Until 2008, Habitat for Humanity has already built more than 800,000. I think this organization is really incredible to built so many house for homeless and helped more than 4 million people to live in a real house. Habitat for Humanity is located in Lake Agassiz Habitat for Humanity,210 North 11th Street, Moorhead, MN 56560. However, now this organization grow to an international organization, and it located around all over the world, involved Latin America, Asia, Europe, Africa, US, Canada. 

  

    I learned their words, "let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions" (Jonh, 3.18). We should not to say help without actions, we should move and help with voice. Many people need our help, and we just need to spend some time or money or energy, it doesn't trouble us anyway, but we can gain a lot of happiness with help people. I also think about a lyric from a Chinese song "everyone just need to donate a part of love, the world will be very beautiful and tomorrow will be much peaceful". 

    I would like to choose to paint the wall of the new house that we help to build. I choose to paint because I want to paint something special on the wall which can show people live together and love, help each other. I want to paint a very nice house for that new host, I want to let them to feel that there is still hope here, every one can love and help them to overcome the bad situation. I also think I want to paint that house to look like a warm home, a light in the dark, and a hope never go away. We are the hope for the homeless people, and I believe we can help them with our energy, hands and love.
