Thank you Great Grandfather, for standing by Though times be good or bad, But never throwing up to me The chances I have had. Thank you Great Grandfather, for picking up The pieces when they fall, For always being near enough To hear me when I call. Thank you Great Grandfather, for holding on Of me when I would go, For finding deep within my soul, The things that never show. Thank you Great Grandfather, for promises You never fail to keep, For counting every heart beat, When I lay me down to sleep. Thank you Great Grandfather, for mercy And the wisdom that you show. For sometimes saying yes to me, And sometimes saying no. , Thank you Great Grandfather for patience, When I feel like giving up, For adding honey to the dregs I taste within my cup.

Income eligible households must be at or below 125 of poverty guidelines listed below. Currently, applications are being accepted from Native American households. If your application is approved, it may be processed immediately due to the lack of house holds on the waiting list. The funds used to weathcrize your home are provided by the federal government in grant form. There is no cost to the renter or homeowner, nor is there a lien placed on the property. The sole purpose of this program is to lower en ergy usage and therefore, help lower your utility bills.
