When a family gets the call telling them they've been accepted into our homeownership program they celebrate. Three months into the program they smile politely at us as they rub the blisters on their hands caused by swinging a hammer. At six months they might moan when we call to ask them to speak at a church or fold newsletters. At a year, communication can be reduced to a growl as they wonder, "When will we ever get into our house!" Well, it really does happen. After lots of sweat, tears, laughs, and cheers we celebrate together the accomplishment of homeownership. May your homes be blessed with love and good fortune, new Habitat homeowners.
