Faith-Filled Fascia

I looked around my house the other day, realizing how many things we have put off repairing or replacing while we paid for other things we deemed more important as we homeschool our children in the Lord. And I had the thought that, in a way, this lack of grandeur is a display of faith, a sign that our hope is not in the present. Now when I look at the fascia board that needs replaced and the frayed carpet, I remember that anything done by faith pleases God. And, after all, that's all I want: for my home and what we do here to please Him.

I haven't visited your blog in a very long time. This is beautiful and I so appreciate you writing it and reminding to be thankful and to be happy about keeping the first things first.

What I see as sacrifice, really are gifts from the Lord. I do not think I truly know what sacrifice is, but I pray that I learn. Love you!

And I don't remember the things I know to be true -- have you heard me complaining about my fascia boards lately? Yes, just last night. Sigh. Love you too. Keep reminding me what we know to be true!
