A great Friday..warmer weather, building going on…and more…

However we need your support..the donations are down everywhere…

But our hope is up and homes are going up…Like one in Somers, one in Mamoroneck…five in Yonkers, rehabs everywhere..

Yesterday I was fortunate to go back to my first Habitat in Paterson, NJ for a meeting…one which gathered Exec. Directors together…as I was driving down the street with my staff, I said, pull over…my staff startled, didn’t know what happened.. A minister on the street, with five people…was talking in front of the church..i jump out…Stafford yells, Jim….I hadn’t seen him for 11 years…at least…but God blessed us to be part of the Habitat family.. the family of working together and the remembrance of the moments of building side by side, cross economic, racial and spiritual divides to work together…he a United Methodist minister, I back then heavy into another denomination, we all learned about each other and grew in the Theology of the Hammer, to build over hundreds of homes now..thanks to John Algera, Rev. Stan Van Der Klay, Millard Fuller, the Leonards, Ed Smith the Melvedts, the Boulangers, and more… God bless you all ..

 

The Love of Habitat for Humanity of Westchester can be found today in our Bronx Restore, or in our teens meeting in their clubs to make sure they are bulding correctly, or in the love of working together on sites.. we have so much to do..

 

Yesterday Dave Gibbons formerly of Trenton Habitat, retired, yells, Jim…we hadn’t seen each other for 11 years..now retired frm Trenton, he volunteers as ED at another place…what a world..

 

So Join us in this exciting venture.. join us in this blessed ministry of changing lives…
