Beauty...For Dirt!

Wow...sorry it has been a few days since my last post! Life has been....well...Life!!

Let's see....so much has been happening that it's hard to know where to begin talking...that's probably a first!

Thursday and Friday were work days - we put our bakery back together after being closed for 13 days for a light remodel! I don't think I get MY own house as clean as we got that bakery! Whew...my body hurt in places I didn't know could hurt! Good for the bakery though...

Have you ever noticed how a good cleaning makes things brighter? Smell cleaner? Motivate you to maybe do something you might not normally do in the New Improved Clean space? With the work it took to accomplish your task also comes a sense of satisfaction...right? Success, a job well done. It is pleasing to the eyes...it may even be pleasing to the nose depending on exactly WHICH space you are cleaning!

That's sort of how I think God takes his approach when He "cleans" us up as well. He takes so much loving care in restoring us to beauty....on HIS beauty scale! (Ps 45:11) Good news girls, I'm almost sure God's scales don't read weight in pounds! I'm pretty sure His scales read something like this: beautiful beloved daughter, delightful dancer, righteous heiress and of course Pure Perfection! Now that's a set of scales I can't WAIT to step on....

It may take a lot of elbow grease to get the "dirt" off but I assure you that our beloved Father in Heaven is using top 'o the line supplies (i.e. HIS WORD) to get the job done! And when His work in you is finished...your new improved clean space...will be just the right size room....for HIM...alone!

Until next post...

Blessing on you and yours...Love others as God loves you!
