Lord, this renovation project is so much like the work you do in all our lives. You mold us, giving us gifts and skills, which we use and abuse, sometimes improving ourselves, sometimes to our detriment. Then you take us and build us up further, or tear us down so that we can be refreshed and renewed. Works in progress that always need fine-tuning, adjustment or correction, you are ever patient with us, working with us and for us, and sometimes even through us. Thanks for all that you do, who you are, and what you mean to me.
