Dear God,

Thank you for the ways you turn a house into a home!  We move into a structure, put all our possessions in it and then live daily lives.  But something happens and makes the house more.  I believe it is you.

A house and many possessions do not make a home.  A place where you exist transforms all things. A broken-down shack can be a home when you are present.  Even people living in a house cannot make a home.  Your living presence causes love to change things and when love is present, all things are possible.  A house can become a warm, loving, hope-filled space, a home.

Thank you,

O God,

for your presence

in our homes.

Thank you

for the promise

of your

living presence.

Thank you

for making

all things new

by your love.

Yours, Andrea
