Day #34

Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its fall!

 Matthew 7:26-27

The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.

 Proverbs 14:1

Lord, on this day, come, Holy Spirit, and puncture our pomposity; may we learn to not take ourselves too seriously. Lord, may we each, as husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, grand-parents and in-laws, turn away from the really foolish patterns of action which cause hurt and division in our families. Help us to strengthen the foundations and build up broken walls. Lord Jesus, thank you that in your mercy you have saved us from our foolishness, and that by your Spirit you renew our homes with your joy – the serious business of heaven.
 
 

Amen.
