Friday evening, Shabbat for some, holy day others..rest day before Sat build for Habitat too.

Every day is Shabbat for Habitat  is holy is hammer time…we take for granted our roof, our home, our water, our life..our electricity…the mission of our work so simple is for us to build Green EarthDay quality homes…energy efficient, creating communities of love and energy together…stay tuned, even our own energy sources…

Our main energy source though is the one God that calls us to love one another help one another,care for one another….like those at Riverside who I worked with today at the Green Science Fair…or with the Pearls Children who came to visit…or with the Pace student who helped today..we are blessed.

So join us..tomorrow we welcome Boston College alum, Bedford Presbyterian, new York and company, and Foxlane school..all great together..what a great God we serve no matter what day we worship..hopefully everyday..

And no matter faith we are..this is HOLY WEEK, THIS IS HOLY HABITAT WEEK..WONT YOU HELP MAKE A DONATION FOR A HOME….GOD BLESS YOU…

Green Green Greeen, Get out and Play! The Journal news, LoHud.com,  writes in todays paper..Children thrive by spending time in the great outdoors..getting out and play became a new team in many homes… a playdate..yikes..what is that…im going for a playday…I remember growing up as a kid,we would do anything to play outside. We would make up games of all sorts, we would play wiffle ball, football, basketball, kickball, soccer, badminton, you name it we would play it..in the fields in the streets..

Often kids in neighborhoods have no place to play in the hood…green space is taken away, and kids are unhealthier, living in fear, livng inside, living with asthma….Parks become vitally important as do green spaces everywhere…Habitat of Westchester is commited to help make our neighborhoods green in every which way, absolutely no question….wont you join us..donate a planter for one hundred dollars with your families name on it…plant with us, help us buy a lot, for homes, and then one next door for a playground…so go out and Play with habitat….help us deplete crime, increase health, and get out and Play with us on Habitat sites..help our kids, our habitat kids, have great green homes and great green neighborhoods… God bless you.

Today in the daily news best places section..an article on ICFa, insulated concrete forms, is written..I continue to amaze ourselves here at Habitat of Westchester, because for years, we have been using very energy efficient building materials…ICFa have been used for foundations, as well as for building whole homes.  We are designing a condo building

On ICFs…in Yonkers…amazing.

Our homes in Portchester, in Yonkers, in Mt Vernon, have been utilizing foundations made out of ICFs…like a stryofoam cup, you put them together like legos..pour concrete after the rebar is in and it keeps it warmer for the life of the family, saving energy.

 

Along with solar panels, green flooring, healthier paints and more, our Habitat families have many storng safe energy efficient homes. The excitement is building Green..God bless

Monday, not  a blue day but a great day…a house to be salvaged for supplies, a story to be told by Patch..a city that wants us and many more, a new mayor calls and says thanks let me help…what a great day…the world watches ten people bounce rubber on a wooden floor, I love the game..but I love walls of Hope and Love going up..walls of neighbors and friends, being melded together, not being torn apart..religions of one, joining instead of religions of division killing..so tonite..the Finals are led by you, if you play the game of

Hammers instead of Hoops with habitat…you will be a National and a family Champion if you do…the Excitement is Still Building!!!!!!!!

Early morning restlessness…..for families with no heat..for families with no windows that shut well, or landlords that don’t care…or for Habitat directors that want to change it..

Praying for more land, more money, more homes..more sewers, more plumbers, more excavators..some of our biggest costs, lies in the underground….like the restless families or director, the earth needs to be dug to complete good homes above, good  foundations, good building..pray with prayers of gratitude for all the support we have had over the years to end this restlessness..and for future homes..that need their ground settled….we need your prayers,…and your support…if you know a plumber, excavator, or others..help us finish these homes, and end poverty for families in need.. God bless you…
