It is rather painful to watch this part of the process, you can imagine how attached the family is to the place even if it is falling apart and inadequate for their needs. But then it's a great joy to see the final product. <BR/><BR/>Seems a bit apt since the family in question is unable to do the work themselves, but must simply vacate the premises so that the team can get to work.<BR/><BR/>Isn't this what true conversion calls us to do? Empty ourselves so Christ can come in tear down and rebuild?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for another great homily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
