Habitat is a ministry..our witness is every home of love, every changed life, every family member, every volunteers life..we are so blessed.

I wa shonored to have breakfast with co founder Linda Fuller. We reminisced about all of the times we had..the Millard and Linda stories.. The Holy Spirit blessing..the singing of happy birthday for Clarence Jordan when he passed by Lindas children..into heaven..the trips to Paterson and NY, and Boston the habitat family member who is now a Doctor, and the volunteer who is now a Habitat homeowner…from Harlem. God has blessed this journey, we have only just begun.

Each second is gift…our great volunteer board president Mary Bonner has been hit with a stroke..Mary dedicated to helping so many is one person who has dedicated her life to service..we pray for Mary and ask you to join us in this vital prayer..

 

At the end of the day, what we have is a life filled with love and goodness, helping one another, giving to one another…with that in mind, we continue…we move we build we pray..and take each second as gift..
