Justin comes in…

I am in school four classes, working two jobs..how am I doing…the son of a mom who had a stroke and worked harder than anyone, Justin is m y hero..

I remember him when he was five or six, doing sweat equity with his mom on the house..

Working hard..he grew up, part time jobs, graduating a Yonkers high school….making it work..where do we go from here…how do we make it..how do we move ahead..

He gives me hope..when the little details and the challenges of getting homes built occurs, which do…seeing Justin and remembering we have helped 250 families alone here, as well as helping many overseas..makes my week complete..

God bless you, please support our cause for the sake of future Justins..JJK

If we look at different areas in life, we take so much for granted….grass, flowers, a roof…..

In many neighborhoods, there is no grass…there are no flowers….there are no playgrounds, there are no mailboxes to put mail in…why..

Many cut off trees, make concrete jungles, and have challenges for kids to live in neighborhoods with hope…but there is HOPE..there is Habitat, there is our GO GREEN PROGRAM..THERE IS OUR ADOPT A PLANTER PROGRAM.

This Sunday morning, as I am here with Juan and Rodney at our headquarters ..as we rehab it..we talk of homes for my workers..lets get you a home too…I need one Jimmy, he says….then I will go to water the 20 plus planters we put up the Ashburton corrider..on Orchard, on Willow, on Walnut…the tree streets my friend the DA said to me fifteen years ago, stay away from…now there are homes..no kids are planting, watering and building with us…God is good..

Then  I speak at Riverdale Presbyterian church, who volunteers with us off of Riverdale Avenue…then off to Chappaqua..thirty miles north..to rehab Marvelous Marvel’s home..a senior who needs her home rehabbed…another Sunday of Love, of helping of giving..wont you give to help us help others today..!!!! the Excitement is truly Building  …Green and with Love.!!!

Many might be in Montauk, or the hamptoms..ok..but as I drive to my “hamptoms” Herriot Street, Orchard Street…Odell, and many more…I realize I am so blessed..homes, flowers, people, blessings…pray over our neighborhoods if you can…

I saw Melissa cutting the weeds from our community garden on Porach..on Orchard I met Aretha who with her daughter, said, I willhelp with the fair next week, and the fun..and the food, …she wants a home with her kids…I talked to Nicole, who remembers ten years ago us rehabbing a run down drug building, now with 7 families on the street…thanks to Millard and Linda, Clarence Jordan and the Holy Spirit, habitat builds and changes neighborhoods all over the world…and here..

So make A SPECIAL LABOR DAY DONATION TODAY,…WE NEED IT, WE USE IT, WE TRANSFORM LIVES…..WHO NEEDS THE HAMPTOMS..WE HAVE HABITAT…GOD BLESS.

Today I meet with a group who wants to help Haiti recover..a doctor and friends…who want to go with their church to build..God bless them…Last nite, Dr Garvey calls,..Jim I have another check for Haiti..he has played with his group to help support our cause of rebuilding, of helping of making homes for families….Doc you are the best…

 

Yesterday I asked someone to pray over the neighborhoods we will build in…you will never change them …the person retorts…we at Habitat believe God will help us change these neighborhoods, with our love, our hands, our action, our diligent development…no question…seems challenging doesn’t it..but we can do it.. we can make it happen, and we will..

As I remember this Labor Day all the volunteers who helped change neighborhoods, who helped change lives, who helped change their own lives..from rubble to homes, from garbage to green gardens, from despair to hope..i say  THANK YOU! PRAY WITH US THIS LABOR DAY, and then commit to change more lives following in this VITAL EXCITING MINISTRY, THAT WELCOMES ALL FAITHS, AND NO FAITH..TO HELP BUILD SIMPLE DECENT HOMES….

The summer winds down and Habitat of Westchester kicks it up into high gear..

Building in Mt Vernon, peekskill Ossining White Plains, Yonkers….more and more work helping us out to make it a great fall.

As I was on the radio yesterday a caller Mike states..Jim it is great, we have another run down home……which sounds funny to the average listener, but another run down home is an opportunity for us to be able to help another family, help other volunteers use their sweat equity, help stabilize another home…..it is all a blessing…join us…jjk
