LOVE IN ACTION: This beautiful photo mural is on the wall in the office-meeting room at the Many Hands Thrift Store in Clive, Iowa. I will admit it brought tears to my eyes as I could relate to, or at least appreciate, every segment of this complex work of art. Here is an excerpt from MH4H Mission Statement. "Our goal is to strengthen families in Haiti, building a strong foundation for them and their communities. We want to prepare them for a time when we will end our services and investment in the family and they, in turn, will need to invest in one another." Yes, indeed--that is LOVE IN ACTION.

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. All men will know that you are my desciples if you love one another. (NIV) John 13: 34,35.
