These people are LEGIT

I was watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition last night before I went to sleep.  If you didn't know, Extreme Makeover came to Albuquerque and served a family and a local pastor in the South Valley.  The family received a new home for themselves, and also the houses next to them as the family houses those who are unable to live on their own or are rehabilitating from an addiction or life struggle.  It was an amazing story and such a work of the Lord.  I since then have watched this show as much as possible.  It is amazing to see the joy in these people's hearts as they receive a gift they would have never expected or much less even asked for, as they are thankful for enough in their circumstances.  I watched it last night and saw a story of a family who had tragically lost parents to two young girls.  Similarly, the cousin that took them in has a son that is a survivor of cancer.  They couldn't have asked for more, they were content with being together as a family and still being alive.  But much to their surprise, Extreme Makeover saw their circumstances and instantly fixed their house to better suit them.  They were so thankful and tears were brought to their eyes, as were mine.  These episodes always do this to me.  I see their hurting hearts and see the joy they experience just a mere week later and it breaks my heart.  I take for granted so much that those people would LOVE to have, but don't even dare to ask.  And then, I see it on the other side.  Ty Pennington is well off, so are the people that work alongside him on the show. Yet, they give EVERYTHING they can possibly get their hands on.  Its amazing.  Its praiseworthy.  Yet, is it?  I thought about writing this blog, praising them for the things they do for these people.  But, who is REALLY worth of this praise?  Them? Well, to an extent.  But ultimately to the Lord,  whether these families realize it or not they are blessed beyond all belief and most don't realize it.  By God's grace, the family in Albuquerque brought some of the EMHE staff to the Lord as they worked on their house.  But other than that, where are these families without the Lord? Blessed? Yes. But do they know why?  Most don't, and for this, prayer is most worthy.  Check out some episodes on TV or on this website to see what I mean! :)
