A House Became a Home


 
After a week of working together as one, the time arrived where it is so bitter sweet.  It is time to dedicate the home and say our good-byes.  They gathered around the home as team leader, Jimmy lead with opening words and shared Joshua 24:15.  What followed Jimmy was simply breath taking. Just about all the team members stepped forward and shared something from their heart.  Some quoted bible verses which were special to them and applied to this very special family.  One touching moment was when Kent spoke and one of the twins went to him and hugged him ever so tightly.  God moment all the way folks.  Another God moment was when Julio shared from his heart his gratitude to God first then to each of them for coming such a long way to help build his home.  Julio shared mi casa, su casa.  He said my home is your home. Jimmy gave Julio the family bible and the key to his home.  They laid hands on the home as Scott led the praying of dedication.  Once Julio got the door of his new home opened the twins, Gabby and Gabrielle ran in and jumping up and down.  The team joined them and they all sang "Oh Happy Days".
 
"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15
