Christmas Day..calls from my New Orleans families…Rodney in Harlem, returning to s Carolina ..  Devante the 8 year old son who lost his home in Gentile New Orleans …then friends came into our Restore…Brian and Shawn…then a jazz musician, Ely Fountain…who walked in…

Every day is gift, every person that comes into our Restore gets a sense of Christmas love..by Mary or Cece or me, or Tom or our staff and volunteers.. and we hope the same for all the volunteers who come to our site…

I think of the many families too, who have homes now, from here to New Orleans and Argentina and India and Asia where we have tithed too..

Oh the Spirit of Christmas runs deep in Habitat…the same spirit of Hannukkah or of the Muslim friend who came in today and wished me Merry Christmas with a big hug…so your donation to us helps Christmas be every day, your donation in good thought or prayer or hope for a better tomorrow…2009 will be a profound year for us ..no question in changing the face of this county,with the Spirit of Christmas in our heart and hands, and in our hope and the Spirit of community that binds us all together no matter what faith..Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
