After a wet couple of days in the neighborhood, the rain held off and cooler temperatures prevailed.  It was a good day for our construction volunteers…Thank you Lord!  17 construction volunteers in addition to 4 office staff and 1 lovely lunch lady, worked together and enjoyed a successful workday and wonderful lunch.

Our lunch was provided by The Sunday Morning Bible Study Group from Stonewater Church.  (Alicia and I are proud to be a part of these fine folks!)  What a delectable delight it was!  Chicken tenders from Chicken Express with their delicious cream gravy and roll’s, coleslaw, homemade mashed potatoes, baked beans, and salad.  Then there was the desserts… a coconut lush dessert and special bundt cake, apple pie and a selection of cookies and brownies.  It was Halloween for adults that came dressed as construction workers!!!

Meanwhile, the construction continued at a steady pace.  At Eliana’s house (#4102), touch-up paint continued as well as installing the dishwasher and microwave oven.  In addition, the backsplash and counter top was completed along with the necessary caulking.  The door for the shed was built as well.  At Ty and Mallory’s house (#4104), blocking was done in the kitchen.  Thanks folks, great job!

Dear Lord, thank you for the fellowship we share with our volunteers, homeowners and those throughout this community who support us.  All glory to you Lord!

Love Ya ~ Richard

Today was a wild one but (as always) our awesome volunteers came shining through!  We had 58 total volunteers today!  24 of our regular construction volunteers along with 7 office volunteers and a super-duper lunch lady!  In addition to our “regular” construction volunteers, we had a lot of help from Granbury ISD.  16 students from the civil engineering class and 10 more students from the construction class.   Dear Lord, please bless and protect these wonderful young people…

Our delicious lunch was provided by the First Presbyterian Church of Granbury.  What an excellent lunch it was!  3 different types of casseroles and bread.  A variety of salads plus cake and cookies.  It was a lunchtime feast!  Additionally, Habitat provided a variety of pizza’s as well as fruit for the young folks!

At the construction sites, steady progress continues.  At Eliana’s house (4102) work continues on the fence.  Additionally, the electric line has been installed and Ellie’s appliances have been delivered.  (Dedication is getting close!)  At Ty and Mallory’s house (4104) the scaffolding is up and work has started on the roof.  Cleats have also been installed.  All in all another productive and blessed day a HFHHC!

Don't forget Eliana's dedication on November 7th at 12:30

Dear Lord thank you for the generous spirit that surrounds our ministry and for all the blessings you bestow on us.  We love you!

God continues to bless us with cool mornings and warm afternoons allowing us to get a lot accomplished.  Today 21 construction volunteers, 3 office workers and one fabulous lunch lady worked together and celebrated another successful Habitat work day!  God Bless you folks!

Our excellent lunch was provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  What a wonderful lunch it was.  Potato soup, different kinds of chili (and all the fixings) lots of delicious cornbread and a great assortment of cookies.  Please Lord, bless the hands that created this nourishment for us! 

On the construction front it was a busy and productive day.  At Ellie’s house (4102) the kitchen counter was finished and the kick plate was installed.  A pesky closet door was tweaked and all of the doorstops were installed.  More attic work on the air conditioning system was performed and touchup paint was applied where needed.  One door over at Ty and Mallory’s (4104) the windows were taped and installed.  Cleats and blocking were worked on and outside the house installation of the scaffolding began.  All in all an exceptionally busy and productive day!  Our volunteers are just the very best!

Thank you Lord for keeping our volunteers safe today, and as always, please watch over our beloved families…

Love Ya!, Richard

What a day…What a day…WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!  The Lord gave us great weather for the ribbon cutting ceremony and our ongoing construction efforts. The gathering was well attended and all those present celebrated the blessings that Jesus has provided for our ministry.  The outpouring of fellowship that came from all corners of our community was significant and heartfelt and the volunteers of Habitat For Humanity of Hood County, past and present, are grateful for those who came to share this special day with us.  God Bless you each and every one! 

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Granbury Chamber of commerce for a flawless ribbon-cutting ceremony and for Hood County News for covering it!

Meanwhile, 23 construction volunteers stayed focused on working on the homes right up to the ribbon-cutting ceremony!  In addition, 6 office volunteers worked to keep us organized and on track!  Regarding construction, on Elle’s home (4102) installation work on her kitchen cabinets and counter tops was performed.  Closet brackets, more caulking and touch up paint were applied.  Outside her home, her fence was started.  On Ty and Mallory’s home (4104) dead wood, hog-backs and the attic floor was installed and cutting the rafters was completed.  Cleats were started as well.  An absolutely stellar job from our construction folks…you guys are just the best!

Lunch today combined the ribbon-cutting ceremony with our normal volunteer lunch for a very special feast that consisted of pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, veggie tray, a wide verity of chips and a selection of homemade desserts.  The fabulous four lunch ladies outdid themselves in serving our entire volunteer team and guests.  A lot of hard work and dedication to our ministry goes into preparing a special event lunch.  God Bless each of you for your dedication and servant hearts!

Special thanks for Steve and Carol Davidson for being a part of this special day.  The good Lord gave you the strength, wisdom and direction to form our ministry 30 years ago. This day was possible because of your vision and willingness to serve those in our community with respect and most importantly, love.  You are always in our hearts…

Love ya!
Richard
