Remembering Before
Jordan’s bedroom and the living room are the Teenagers can sleep anywhere!

Our bedroom is next!
The
“after” pictures don’t mean much if I don’t see the “before and during.” I want
to appreciate how much was done to improve our house, to remember everything Samaritan’s
Purse did for our family and share this with others. We did nothing to deserve
their help; we just had to be willing to accept their generous gift.
This
is such a picture of what God has done for the world. This ugly, messy, broken
house from the storm that I never want to see again is like the sin in our past
that God forgives and forgets after repentance. In Romans 3:23, He says: “for
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” But He doesn't leave us
like this and walk away; like the good Samaritan—God stays to help. Jesus died
for our sins so we can be healed.
I’m
thankful our house is being rebuilt and made new, but even more thankful for
what God has done for us. “For by grace you have been saved, through faith—and
this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God…”Ephesians 2:8. We just have
to accept His free gift to us, and we will be blessed with a life with Him, a
new home.
