IT'S NOT THE BUILDING-----IT'S THE BUILDING

I love it when a new team arrives and their all excited about building a house for a very needy family. Well this week the Carpenters Crew will be building 3 houses with a team of 46, of which only 32 will travel to Mexico everyday. The rest of the team stays back for cooking and other ministry opportunities in the States. Yesterday we got a late start, as usual, on the first day, but managed to get four walls up on two houses. The funny thing is that when we finished supper last night and had some sharing time, not one person mentioned how great it was to be building a house for a family, but they talked about seeing God in the little things. The faces of the children, the fun they had with them, the small child interrupting you, just to say hello and shake your hand as they came home from school. The men fishing all day in the canal. The way the family pitched in and helped with the building. The smiles from Felicito as progress was made. Do you get it yet? it's not about the building silly, it's about the building silly-- of the Kingdom, and relationships with people from a different Country and Culture, and Language and social economic status. It's about LOVING GOD AND LOVING PEOPLE. Who's kingdom are you going to build today?
