In the rare moments of silence in our house, the furniture talks to us. This is weird, we know, but it does. It whispers the names of individuals who have loved us over the years. The TV, the couch, the chairs, the microwave, the mattresses, the bookcases, the table, they all whisper "remember the people who love you enough to share their things with you".
It's pretty amazing actually. Walking though the house, there is not one room that isn't littered with things that were given to us by someone else. Nice things. The generosity and support of the people that God has brought into our lives oftentimes overwhelms us.
The most recent thing whispering to us is a stack of envelopes on our kitchen table. They are envelopes filled with donation receipts for the many people that have decided to share in the journey of The Jubilee House. The response has been such an encouragement and an inspirational reminder to love as Christ has loved (we have already raised 3 months worth of salary for Andra to be in the neighborhood).
So, today, as our furniture whispers to us, we are thankful for YOU and hopeful that the daily decisions of the Jubilee House spread the whispers of Christ's love.
