It's Saturday afternoon (11/5) and we just finished Week 1 of 3 for Habitat. There's a wind advisory out today; so, we ended early. It's pretty difficult to do accurate work with 45 mph winds blowing dirt & sand in your face. But, these folks are excellent at building the Habitat homes. The folks we work with are called Habitat RV Care-a-Vanners and a few of the couples are old-timers, successful, retired business folks in very nice Motorhomes cruising around the country and then regularly incorporating Habitat into their road trips. Some are so kind and generous that they have been building homes for 10-12 years. My new friend, Kathy, has loaded Habitat's Week 1 Pictures to Picasa for viewing. [Click here.]
Every day I feel so privileged to be a part of this experience, walking beside my husband through these new opportunities. I still do daily phone devos every weekday morning at 7 AM with Katharine, a special COS friend. Then, I have another group of dear friends from OH, NM & TX, who are joining me in a phone Bible Study on Tuesday evenings. We are studying James. (You can see more about the Bible Studies info at the end of this blog.) I'm also doing a little bit of part-time work with a small mission group called Food for Orphans and helping a dear friend with her business (With Time to Spare). Everything is online and quite mobile.
The RVing community is a wonderful group of people. They are kind, generous and very social. Then I have the added joy of hearing the grandkids in the RV next to us. What could be sweeter? This week they made their own teeter-totter and the littlest ones laughed for hours. It's an amazing experience.
Well, I'm going to take a nap (maybe) and then see what Ern wants to do. (He's already sleeping.)
P.S. This Sunday is Orphan Sunday, a nation-wide promotion for the poorest of orphans. So, let me know if you want to help them out. There are lots of needs and we all have so very much. ($15/a month keeps a child from starvation by providing one balanced meal a day.) I'll to happy to help you get any gifts directed to this needy cause.
P.P.S. Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight. It's time for the daylight savings time change.
