THANKSGIVING TO ALL! FROM US AT HABITAT!

This week I give thanksgiving for life…we stopped two people from fighting, one who pulled a gun the other a bat…pray for our neighborhoods, pray for us changing neighobrhoods to the better. Home ownership does it. Partnerships does it, congregations help with it. Thank you God for another day!

 

Along with that we give out 100 turkeys in our neighborhood on the street, on Orchard…we also rehab a vets home in Yonkers, we also help with working on ahome in Somers. Thanks to Ardsley high School as well as to Fox Lane High School, and the Unification church for assisting.

What a blessing. We also have volunteers thanksgiving morning.

Today the Westchester Invaders  play with their marching band..better than the Macys parade in my opinion…we got them shirts..kids taken from the projects, who now are with us..! we love the Westchester invaders.

Every second is gift..we appreciate your vital support as we change neighborhoods together..

Did you know on election day you have to vote..sounds stupid doesn’t it..but more and more people are apathetic, party laden with lack of choices and voices..and ridden with debt by politicians who don’t balance budgets…we need to pray on this important day that this changes..that we look to see our world get better, our lives, our communities..with election Day and Veterans Day so close, we have much to be thankful for..but we have to act…

For that matter..let 2011 be the year of Change…of action of Faith in action and calling one another to get involved in changing your own local community..stay tuned…

Join Habitat, with your hearts, mind, hammers, love and hope for a better tomorrow..this will and can happen….today we welcome J Teen to our sites, on election day, volunteering….God bless them.. and you….Vote Act Change…

A fragile world..70,000 plus customers out in n Westchester..700,000 in Ct ..i cant get my sister on her house phone yet..in a minute in a second, your home can be damaged..your life changed..without power or heat or a roof cave in…be you in Haiti, or Westchester or Ct…..plus those with little money to go to a hotel..or resources, are left struggling, left with no help.

Our mission encompasses so much..we trust in God, who guides and provides for us to reach out to those in need..today I heard from two mayors…tomorrow I call to my town supervisors who we work with..whats the damage, who needs help.

Be grateful for a roof over your head,..this Halloween..the scariest experience you might have..would be not to have ahome…wont you help us help others have a simple decent strong home…God bless you
