What an absolutely gorgeous Saturday it was!  24 construction workers and one lunchroom volunteer came together to bring glory to the Lord through their hard work and dedication to our ministry.  Thank you folks!

Our delicious lunch was provided by our friends from the Granbury Church of Christ.  Now I wasn’t there to enjoy the spread so I missed out on the tasty pizza and all the excellent desserts that were served up!  Thank you folks for your gracious generosity…

Almost all of the work today was focused on Eliana’s house (#4102) which is getting closer to completion with each workday.  The installation of upper cabinets, corner blocks, baseboards and the vanity and towel rack in the bathroom are now installed.  The blinds were hung and there was a lot of caulking completed.  Additionally, the floor was installed sometime after Wednesday.  It’s beautiful!  Over at Ty and Mallory’s house (#4104) the foundation was squeegeed and swept as we received some rain in the last day or two.

Hey, don’t forget folks, this coming Wednesday (Oct. 21st) we have our official “Ribbon Cutting” ceremony celebrating the new part of Rancho Brazos!  Hope to see everyone there…

Thank you Lord for watching over our families and volunteers…

God Bless ~ Richard

What a wonderful Wednesday it was!  23 construction workers, 2 of which were homeowners, combined with 7 office workers and 2 busy lunch folks to bring about an awesome, productive, successful day.  God has blessed our ministry with excellent, compassionate and hard working people.  Their actions bring glory to the Lord!

Our outstanding lunch was provided by the Women on Mission group from First Baptist Church.  They served up delicious chili with all the fixings as well as a great selection of cookies and fudge.  Thank you ladies!

At the worksites construction continues at a productive pace.  At Eliana’s house (#4102) the AC is in the process of being installed as well as the gutters.  The back door has been painted and the closet hangers have been installed.  At Ty and Mallory’s home (# 4104), joist tails are being cut and the hog backs and rat runs are being installed.  Additionally, the rafters are being cut and the blocking for the shelves has been started.

What a busy and fulfilling day!  Thank you Lord for watching over us all…

Love Ya!

Excellent day in the neighborhood!  Today we had 13 construction workers (3 of which were homeowners), 2 office workers and one lovely lunch lady!  God gave us great weather and our awesome volunteers got the job done and did so in splendid fashion.  Our volunteers are indeed the hands and feet of Jesus…

Our great lunch was provide by our friends from the Episcopal Church Of The Good Shepherd.  They brought a wide variety of sandwiches from the Firehouse sandwich shop and they were delicious!  The food was complemented by a selection of cookies and chips.  It was a wonderful lunch complete with great conversation and fellowship.  Thank you so much for being “Good Shepherds” to us…God Bless!

Down at the worksites, our small but mighty group of volunteers worked hard to bring these houses one step closer to becoming a home.  Painting continued at Eliana’s house (#4102).  She has selected a beautiful terracotta color for her front door.  Next door at Ty and Mallory’s house (#4104), all of the ceiling joists were installed as well as the attic stair frame and the Air Conditioning return air frame.  It was a full day of working hard and celebrating God’s hand in our mission…

Dear Lord, thank you for our volunteers and families and for keeping them safe!  All glory to you Lord…

Love Ya!

PS.  Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 21st!  Plans are underway for a Ribbon Cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the expansion of Rancho Brazos!  More to come!  rf

After getting rained out last Wednesday, the Lord delivered an absolutely gorgeous day today.  We had a large, energetic group of volunteers who worked together diligently to bring the dream of home ownership one step closer for two of our deserving families.  God is good…

We had a large contingent of 39 construction volunteers (3 of which were homeowners), 7 excellent office workers and one lunchroom volunteer who is grateful for the cooler temps that have rolled in with October.  Special thanks to the Constellation Energy volunteers who always bring strong backs and an unparalleled work ethic to our ministry.  You guys are super!

Speaking of super, our friends at Granbury First United Methodist Church really stepped up!  They fed 50 folks today and just did an outstanding job.  Two types of chili with all the fixings, massive amounts of cornbread and so many desserts that even I didn’t get to try them all!  God Bless you guys and thanks for the wonderful way that you support Habitat.

At the homesite’s there was a whole lot accomplished.  At Eliana’s house, touch up paint was applied inside and shutters were installed outside.  (Looks beautiful) Corner blocks were installed and the front and back doors were prepped for painting.  Additionally, Ellie’s driveway will be poured on Friday.  At Ty and Mallory’s home, the sheathing was completed, and the house was wrapped.  50% of the top plate has been marked and the joist’s have been cut.  Also, about half of the rafters have been cut.  Wow!  Great job folks!

Thank you dear Lord for the beautiful day filled with good work and fellowship and for keeping our volunteers and families safe and sound…

Love Ya!
