Advent Devotion.12/17/07: A Time Of Restoration
December 17th, 2007 · Posted in Advent Devotions · 0 CommentsToday’s devotion from the Goseh College Devotional site is from Psalm 126.
Here’s a portion of it:
I can’t help but think of my home and the restoration process it has been through over the past year. I wonder how she must feel – 87 years young! My husband and I purchased my “dream home” when we moved to Syracuse, Ind., last summer. This home was neglected, worn out and needed some major restoration. She certainly didn’t look like anyone’s “dream home.” However, I could somehow see the potential that was just beneath the chipped paint, holes in the floors and walls, and gaps in the windows. She was sad, depressed and uncared for. My husband has worked furiously to make this house our new home and what a wonderful blessing to be celebrating this Advent season in it.
God is indeed in the “restoration business”!
