Jesus,
Take my hands today
Use my mind
Stir my heart
To enter the home of my friend
And create something of beauty
Something of warmth
Something of great worth to her heart
May love direct every piece of furniture that I place
Every accessory that finds its new home
Help me to capture the essence of all that she is
And make it shine through the finishing touches
May this “restoration” bring joy and a lightness of heart
Help me to make her home represent sweet simplicity
So that it makes her sigh a deep “aaaaahhhhhh” of relief
Work through me today, Jesus
And thank you for my friend who is trusting me to put my hands on her home
Her dwelling place
Her safe retreat
Create with me, Jesus
Spend the day with me
As we bring new life to old
New breath
New beauty
Thank you that we can share this together
The result is in Your hands…
