New Years is a day away..every day can be New Year though if we want…I am asking you New Years morning to pray for our mission…the important mission of creating simple decent homes throughout this county.. no question..to create a local project committee in your town….start with a prayer of THANKSGIVING if you can, that you have a home for you and or your family..that you have friends, that you can read this, that we have much to be JOYFUL over for 2008 and for the future of 2009, NO QUESTION…NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE IT IS ENOUGH…just think you are not a refugee having been migrated from home to home, you are not an elderly person whose pipe brokes this week…Zazz a great friend who got the police to come out and build with us from New Rochelle, came by the ROCK..RESTORE LAST NITE…the Norman Rockwell Restore we have created at 591 Main ..more to follow on that…Zazz volunteered with us, stated, Jim went by the Yonkers homes we worked on with the guys..look great..Jim can you come with me in the morning an elderly man on the west end has no water, no heat, 75 with a mom 90…had no money for oil..what can you do for him…in his own Zazz way…great guy..works hard..knows when to ask and what to do..we will go this morning to help this gentleman with our Brush with Kindness outreach…
Be glad that you have running water today.. we also have 240 volunteers in Mexico with a group Ray Melvedt started and I about 15 years ago…not thousands go over the border to club dust, Ray and I and his wife met in Paterson NJ my first Habitat board of directors and we helped raise money for some of the many first homes…there..a plague on my wall goes back to 1989..which means I started there at least in 1988…20 years with Habitat..With hope, with helping with the Holy Spirit, the Ruah of Hanukkah and of Christmas and yes of Ramadan of the one God that loves us and gives us breathe…so Rejoice,join us in Prayer New Years Day if you can…and be Grateful..and this year like in the book of Kings and Nehemiah, we will REBUILD LIKE NEVER BEFORE.. GOD BLESS YOU..JJK
