If you have the Faith of a Mustard seed, God promises we can move mountains, change hearts lives,  in Mathew ch. 13, verse31  and hte Kingdom of heaven islike a Mustard Seed...if we have faith, no matter what religion, God promises us to move mountains, to help change hearts and minds to help build homes in counties that have denied it, to help raise support in the worst economy, to help bring love to all...

With God all things are possible! thank you God!

 

Imagine that every day was a habitat site of love. of volunteers of bulding, or mentoring of families, of tutoring, of assisting..

Hi Holy Days...for our Jewish Brothers and Sisters...is every day a Hi Holy Day...for sure!

we pray, we fast, we live we work, we celebrate, we build!!!!!

Like pyramids once built, like Great Walls once risen, our sweat equity of all faiths in love in action, become a service, a Shabbat, a temple of love in the form of home, and tzedekah, and mitzvahs..with the Ruah breathing air into everyone of us..what a blessing this is..what a prayer of thanksgiving it is with our knees, our hands, our hearts...

 

Often my work takes me to say hi to all those who labor,..i go to hit a nail or two, move wood, or lift..then to the next site to say thanks, with ten towns and cities, it gets hard to work on each site on a Saturday or Sunday..but i am so blessed to see it all regularly...

today going from Mamoroneck to New Rochelle to Yonkers to Pound Ridge to Somers...what a blessing!!!!!

so Shalom and berukah our bayats...and blessings to you and yours in your home this Holy Season of building on Faith...

what a day, the week ended BUILDING ON FAITH...during the Jewish and Muslim High holidays..we built in faith with Christians Jewish and people of no faith.

 

Ionas campus ministry along withWebster Bank and Ossining high school led the charge..the Judge family also sponsored our Bike 2 Build event as well.. all working on sites in Mamoroneck, on sites in Yonkers, at Cottage Apartments and more...

and we had many volunteers 250 plus more than 20 groups this week..what a Holy Spirit filled week...

what a world we live in, what great blessings..what great freedom we have to build

 

Today i ask you to make a tithe to us in honor of Building on Faith week, in honor of the Jewish and Muslim and Christian and hindi messages that calls us not to kill but to love, not to fight but to frame homes, not to hit but to hammer walls of love in Habitat for Humanity homes....this endeavor is our Mission...we will end povertyhousingin our lifetime in Westchster County withyour help.

 

Thank to you all the congregations, DONATE NOW ..! FOR OUR BUILDING ON FAITH INTO THE FUTURE CAMPAIGN!

We tithe undesignated monies to places all over the world...El Salvador, Sonsante, Tamilnadu India..it is one of our blessings..

I am still constantly amazed at the Holiness of Habitat, the Miracle of Habitat, to build in 200 countries to  build oin Kenya and all over the world..this amazing endeavor has blessed us to be able to give thanks to God for Mllard Fuller, for Clarence Jordan, for Martin Luther King, for many people who have helped us in this journey..

 

Like Dave Gibbons, who I dedicate this blog to...Dave passed away this weekend...a habitat director from early on, he gave his life in Service with a Smile...he recently was at a regional directors meeting..and we reminicsed about the old times, and the early days of habitat....ive been there for almost 30 years with Habitat...  Dave God bless you, may be in heaven...in ways that you can bless us withyour Habitat smile your heart of Service and your friendship of love you brought to everyone...!!!! God bless Dave....

A GREAT DAY IN THE VINEYARD..

IN ISAIAH TO WHOM THEN WILL YE LIKEN GOD? OR WHAT LIKENESS WILL YE COMPARE TO HIM?

 

ISAIAH 40:18

 

Can we ever imagine what we can do if we really believe in Gods blessings…this Rosh Sho shanah…we pray for our Jewish Brothers and Sisters, Muslim brothers and sisters, Christian brothers and sisters, I do at least..

 

And the theology of the hammer, and God calls us to love one another…

Imagine if we can DREAM OF WHAT CAN BE FOR ALL FAMILIES IN THE COUNTY..!

 

On the radio this morning I heard about another shooting in Mt Vernon…what goes on…can you pray for me for not one more murder or shooting Mt Vernon…. Do we think it is ok because we might not live there.. there are phenomenal people in that community…

 

Great people who need help and suppor and prayers safe neigborhoods..i travel to pound ridge to help put on a roof there, to help people  there. An elderly person, but there is no shooting, not even a threat..why so different in one county…

 

 

Ok so here it is are we continue on our journey, can everyone have a home…can  everyone live decently…can everyone not be shot at..can God bless us all..can this county be amazing for ALL.. God bless!

a busy weekend, a weekend of reachout a weekend of service a weekend of faith and action, and the week continues...this monday morning i go ont he radio to talk about the housing settlement, and to me the opportunity arises for us to be able to lead with green faith filled affordable home ownership. This opportunity is one that will lead us to a county of love, integration and faith..

int he book of micah, Mary Bonner read the words of Micah over the Lardhmont Temple...Act Justly and walk humbly with our God!  this challenge to Jews,Christians and Muslims alike and all faiths has brought walls of prejudice down and walls of homes up.

 

What a great time this is for us to take an opportunity to embrace our world..embrace our future with a quilt of love, homes and diversity that we can all be proud of...

Today we welcome Harvey School coming out to build...60 strong, no question...working on sites, building, helping, working..preparing, what a great group, three days of 60 strong volunteers working togehter.. on sites, off sites...no question..thank you to Marc Brandon and to all the students, wroking together..

a great day on the Sound shore, and on the hudson and in Weschester.. we seem to have taken our kids and hidden them away from the water, from nature from activities outside, like our working with hands.. the computer promotes it, the tv, the gameboys etc...what about taking a walk by the waters today, what about taking a day working on the sites..learning how to build again...or paitning a picture..

 

all good, all important..all so vital about the health of our community.

 

living in New Rochelle i took a walk at Five Island Park this morning, praying, grateful realizing so few touch the water, or think about it or care about it...thinking about the Iona kids who have suffered with getting burned out of their home, thinkng about and praying about how good our God is, how much we take for granted and how we can change things..

 

Take a walk by the water, say a prayer this week, one for us, our families and for more...

Join us in this vital mission, Renew Restore, Rehab Relive your life for others today.!!!!!!

God Bless

 

ps I am at Community Church in Pouind Ridge this morning,..blessed to be there..
