renovating...



I've been doing alot of painting, sewing and general renovation lately...it's exciting to see almost instant change in our surroundings!
I especially love painting...walls and furniture the most!
it's a wonderful thing but it got me to thinking that as great as it is to create a fresh and new environment, what about the renovation that needs to take place in my heart?
what needs changing, fixing, in the way i think, do and say?
what do i truly care about...who am i reaching and affecting with my behavior and speech?
dear Father,
please renovate my heart- 
making me sensitive to the needs of others, sensing others in pain and crisis - 
reaching out with love and empathy for all...
i love You, Father...and i want to be the best mother, daughter, and friend i can be...i know that only You can reach into the deepest parts of me, changing the very heart of me for good...
