For the last few days, our backyard has been torn up. The patio is gone. A slab of concrete that had been severely cracked is demolished. We’re getting a new backyard. It’s a mess, but sometimes it takes a mess to make something beautiful. It feels a metaphor for God’s work in my own soul.
Below are a few images Gem took this morning. As you look at them, do you think of any areas in which God has seemed to be tearing something down before He builds something good?
And Gem has had fun shopping at Home Depot, looking for some plants to go in this new yard of ours. We’re very grateful for the generosity of our landlord in helping beautiful our space. (We’ve lived here eleven years now…hard to believe!)
