Coping with sudden change - Habitat for Humanity Devotion & Homeowner Story
In this devotion at the Habitat for Humanity worksite, I reflected on how we respond to those events in our lives that turn things upside down. I hope you'll listen through to the end, when we were blessed by Carina who shares her story of becoming a homeowner.

Habitat for Humanity and the Hope of Hanukkah
One of my favorite things to do is to hang out on Habitat work sites. In my mind and heart, no other charitable organization does more to shift generational cycles of home-fragility and limited financial resources - all the while empowering the homeowners and affirming their inherent dignity. Since I have zero skills with tangible things other than fiber, they invite me to talk.... so I offer the morning devotion during snack. Habitat is a Christian organization, but people of all faiths and no faith are more than welcome to work on the sites to make real the dream...
