Proverbs 24:  Though a man falls seven times he rises again…..we get up again..daily though we all have had our challenges..

We are blessed in so many ways to live, survive and make it so that we can get up again…and succeed..for many of our families Habitat allows families to rise again..to make it..to have their dream of the American home become a reality..or a home in Argentina..or a home in Hait….

 

Sometimes people give the attitude, give up. Give up on a person, give up on a family, give up on a neighborhood…we have watched our world suffer, because many have not taken heed with proverbs..but Habitat workers, families, volunteers…totally Rise up with so many..changing neighborhoods..

 

We are rising up in our Neighborhood Block Party on July 17th in the Hollows… a neighborhood when I first went, had homes that were blighted, land that was empty, no community garden, and no hope in many ways…but we were able to build 9 homes there, help rehab others, build a community garden, and assist with helping with creating a Neighborhood watch association.. as well as help our kids with scholarships…what a Rising Story….

 

In Haiti, some might say, let the country go..dont help..but habitat there has built two thousand homes..that lasted after the earthquake, and 50,000 more committed…last nite as we prayed at Leglise de Baptiste, after I prayed with my Brothers and sisters at Bible Way…the community were praying prayers of Rising..Rising up to help change the community and Haiti…..

 

From there I met with Dr. Garvey of the Scrubbs..who stated..lets do a benefit for you the night of July 17th…for Haiti at Dudleys in New Rochelle

 

I am surrounded by so many people who help me Rise every day, though I have fallen, and we Rise up together..to help others Raise up their homes..of love, of sweat and of joy in the Mortar Joints and in their communities.. May God help you Rise today…..jjk
