(*side note: that beautiful white furniture was probably not the best choice Ty. Just sayin, I know from experience)
Speaking of Extreme Makeover, watching this episode reminded me of something that Louie Giglio said at Catalyst this year. He pointed out that when the bus moves, the first thing they show is NOT the house, but the people's faces when they see their house. Why? Because the house is on their faces. You KNOW it's a beautiful, life-changing, amazing, fantastic house simply because of the looks/tears/expression/jumping-up-and-down of the family seeing it. And that's how we should be as Christians. People should be able to look at us and see Jesus on our faces.
(ps- this is not the family from this week's episode, I couldn't find a picture of them, but you get the idea )"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord."
-2 Corinthians 3:18
Going to watch...you are deep..love how the LORD gave you this perspective from watching this show
ReplyDeleteGirl, can you EVEN imagine the look on our faces when the bus finally moves and we see Heaven's gates???? THAT's what I try to focus on when my little cancer buddies leave this world, just trying to imagine the joy and awe and wonder of walking into the best place EVER. One is steps away from heaven right now, and it's breaking my heart.
ReplyDeleteOn another note... I have heard this song over and over lately, and EVERY time I hear it, I think of you. EVERY time, it's your face, and your hands, and your feet that I see in my mind. I love it.. and I love you, friend. You are amazing....
Follow You--Leeland
You lived among the least of these
The weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away.
All my needs you have supplied.
When i was dead you gave me life.
How could i not give it away so freely?
And i`ll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow you into the world.
Use my hands use my feet
To make your kingdom come
Through the corners of the earth
Until your work is done
`cause faith without works is dead
And on the cross your blood was shed
So how could i not give it away so freely?
And i`ll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow you into the world.
(x2)
I give all myself.
I give all myself
I give all myself.to you.
And i give all myself.
Yes i give all myself.
And i give all myself.to you.
And i`ll follow you into the homes that are broken
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow you into the world.
