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

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!
