Me and You and Him and Us

Me and You...
And Him...
And Us...

We're in the Home-building business. 
(I don't technically know how to build houses... I can't even keep the frogs and creepy-crawlers out of mine)

But Homes - the safety and security of being known, belonging and being valued where you are. That's what I'm talking about today. 

Me and You:
You've been my scaffolding support system.
You've been the mortar, helping me stick- stronger and more secure in every piece of the Kingdom God's let me get my hands on.
You've been the backyard fence, giving me a space to do cartwheels and explore every corner of this earthly backyard while never letting me get too far out of the boundaries of our real Home.
You've been the big red couch, cups of coffee and art on the refrigerator, making life here more beautiful. 

Him:
He's the cornerstone, the very foundation of it all.
He's the strength - the solid rock - and the only safe place to build our Hope on. 
He's the very definition of Home - the fulfillment of all that we dream of when we think of Home-building.

Us: 
We get to do it together. 
We get to seek Him and use what we find to build Home on earth. 
We get to do that together - me and You and Him.
And then we get to tell everybody else about it!

So...
Big announcement everyone...
Drum-roll please...

Now presenting a new-and-improved Ten Thousand Homes website to give you complete access to building Hope and creating Home in so many ways! 

Come and see pictures and videos of the place that I work and call home. Read the stories and ask God to show you the ways you are called to the Home-building business. And then please, please, puh-leeease share this website. We know that God wants to use this little corner of cyberspace to invite people in who don't know where they fit. 

This is your chance for the You and Him and Us part: Open the door and welcome someone into the story of Home. Post it on facebook, send out an email, and know that today YOU belong in the Home-building business. 


He planned His Family before the dust and the earth and the backyards ever existed. He always dreamt that you'd join in the fun!
