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!

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
