Move that Bus!

Not many things can move me to tears particularly a tv show. I have lived with testosterone dripping off the ceiling 20+ years now and I think my tear ducts have pretty much dried up. But all of that has changed now that I have watched Extreme Home Makeover. The words "Move that Bus" can reduce me to a puddle of tears in seconds.

I want to recommend this show to your family. If you haven't seen it, I will tell you about it. A crew of homebuilders rebuilds the home of a family in need. Ususally the family has had a crisis of some sort or they are so busy serving others that they don't have the resources to fix up their home that is falling apart. One show I watched the crew totally rebuilt the home of a family whose son has a terminal disease. Another show the crew rebuilt the home of a family who takes in children and teens who have no home. They had around 12 people sharing 1 bathroom in a dilapidated house that I could not even fathom living in. Not only do they rebuild the home but they decorate it suited to the family members' personalities. While the crew is rebuilding the home, the family is sent on an extravagant all-expense paid vacation.

The show is heartwarming and renews my faith in mankind. It shows the goodness and sacrifice of people who are not in this world to see how much they can get how much they can give., This is the kind of show that could spark an interest in your children that could lead them to a very rewarding life of service to others.

Have a wonderful day, Robin

Robin,
A family from our church received a new home from Extreme Makeover just before Christmas! The show will air in February.
