Habitat for Humanity and the Hope of Hanukkah

One of my favorite things to do is to hang out on Habitat work sites. In my mind and heart, no other charitable organization does more to shift generational cycles of home-fragility and limited financial resources - all the while empowering the homeowners and affirming their inherent dignity. Since I have zero skills with tangible things other than fiber, they invite me to talk.... so I offer the morning devotion during snack. Habitat is a Christian organization, but people of all faiths and no faith are more than welcome to work on the sites to make real the dream of home ownership. Our site manager and volunteer coordinator, Barry and Iris Clickstein, hear of lot of devotions so I prepared this one for them.
