A House a Home

Last night I traveled with some friends over to South Estes Drive, ready to deliver a table and chairs to our new friends in that neighborhood. Recalling our first entry into this home on Saturday, as I entered their home for the second time I was struck by the differences. Saturday the living space was bare and seating was limited; last night the apartment welcomed us in with abundant seating and color. The family's beautiful baby was eating rice porridge and (I like to believe) recognized my face, greeting me with some expression rather than Saturday's stunned and confused gaze. Last night a table and chairs were added to the space and perhaps these objects, which are virtually meaningless in many ways, will help communicate our collective wish that this family thrive and feel at home...that they will be blessed just as we have been. I am proud to be associated with a group that worked hard and smart to accomplish a good thing...thanks to you all.
