God... and the house in the sky. The two lessons of today.
They say you have to learn at least one thing everyday. Well, today, I've experienced two shocking moments.
GOD
GOD
First, The weekly meeting with my classe mates was special this time. We have been going out, here and there, for the last 10 weeks celebrating our last year in University. But today, the meeting was special. Today we had a question: Where has God been for the last 4 years? I have to admit that, when it comes to God, only few people show up. As He said: Many are called, but few are chosen, I am so glad I was one of them, because I've learned a lot tonight. I've learned that sometimes, when we need an angel to come and save us from something, God makes us angels and makes us help other people and we don't even notice! I've also learned that my life turns into a disaster when I forget about Him.
I believe because I want to, and when I believe that He is on my side and that He helps me and supports me, my life goes better.
When I trust Him, He becomes my only friend, the one and only I can trust and the one and only that will never fail me.

THE HOUSE IN THE SKY And the second thing I've done tonight is almost flying! I MEAN IT. I went to the house in the sky. This is one of the initiatives of Un Techo Para Mi País (A Ceiling For My Country), the NGO that fights poverty in Urugay, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and El Salvador.
They put a HOUSE in the AIR, seriously, the house is 12 meters from the ground and volunteers are actually living there! WHY? The aim is to sensitize the people, the need is real. As it says in their adds: Don't look up, poverty is around you.
Un Techo Para El Salvador started 5 years ago, after the earthquakes of 2001. This group of volunteers, insipired in Un Techo Para Chile started building houses for poor people in rural areas. Now, Un Techo Para El Salvador is one NGO that help poor people to have a house that they can turn into a home.
Just one clarification: I am totaly againts givin gifts to the poor. They actualy have to pay a simbolic amount of money for the house (that is not even 10% of it's real cost), and the have to help the volunteers in building it.
And what is behind the house? Is the image of Jesus, The Savior. My country's name comes from Him.
