May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)

Happy Thanksgiving!! This time last year we were in construction mode for our first home! And when the pandemic began, no one knew how our first home would open – how we would receive referrals for our home… No one, that is, but God!! Supporters like you ensured that we would be able to house 3 families for this Thanksgiving! Believers like you ensured our families have a fabulous meal today prepared by hearts that care about their stories to enjoy together! We just love our Veggie Tales – Junior said it best, a thankful heart is a happy heart – so thank you from the bottom of our’s! #thanksgiving #thankfulforfamily #thankfulhearts #thankyoujesus #give #endinghomelessness
As He loves you… Love others.
especially when it isn’t easy, choose love over hate, choose kindness, choose gentleness. Utilize every fruit of the Spirit, and love, as He loves you. #loveoneanother #loveasheloves #godisgreater #choosekindness #endinghomelessness

#mondays
His word gives life. Mondays can be tough! Getting back into the swing of a work week, the new swing of a distance learning life, or simply just living life as best you can one new sunrise at a time. It is a blessing to be able to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that His word gives us life – on the days we feel exhausted and depleted, we can turn to the book He created and breathe in His living word. #life #thankful #mondays #endinghomelesness #matthew44
#loveoneanother
Loving others is not always easy. Whether it is a child on your last nerve, a person cutting you off in traffic, or a friend that said something and we “took it the wrong way.” Love is hard! Thankfully, God is love, and He teaches us to love in every circumstance as He loves. He reminds us in His word to guard our hearts, as everything we say flows from it. #guardyourheart #Godislove #thankful #faith #endinghomelessness
Happy Birthday, Caryn!!
