Home Sweet Nightmare

Kayla & Papa

Two days of relentless rain have turned our bedroom into a disaster zone. It has become a casualty of our neighbour's careless renovation. Water is seeping through the ceiling, saturating the walls, and threatening to destroy our belongings. Our insurance company is unable to assist until the source of the problem is addressed. Unfortunately, the tenants are unaware of the property owner, leaving us in a frustrating limbo. To prevent electrical hazards, we've been forced to live without lights for a couple of days. Despite our best efforts to resolve the issue, we're hitting roadblocks at every turn. We feel trapped in a nightmare with no end in sight.

We can't catch a break! First, the boiler decided to take a vacation, leaving us shivering. Then, a radiator in Kayla's room sprung a leak, causing significant damage to the floor. To top it all off, the blinds are stuck, the shower is flooding the bathroom, and Keiron's closet is still waiting to be installed. It's incredibly frustrating to deal with these constant issues, especially when they seem to pile up all at once. We're exhausted and overwhelmed.

My house is a war zone! The broken appliances, leaky pipes, and damaged walls are wreaking havoc on my sanity. I desperately need a superhero, a handyman or manitas who can swoop in and save the day. With their expertise, I can finally reclaim my home and restore peace and order.

While life throws its difficult challenges, I've learned to prioritize and maintain order in my real home, my family. It's my source of comfort and stability, especially during turbulent times. While I may face challenges as a husband and father, I find solace in the order within my home. It's a small victory, but it brings me peace of mind. 

Maintaining a home is a constant challenge. While we may seek the help of a handyman for physical repairs, the true foundation of a home lies in our spiritual well-being. Jesus Christ, the ultimate builder, offers us the grace and love to heal our broken relationships and find lasting peace. He offers us the tools to construct a life filled with love, joy, and purpose. By inviting Him into our homes, we invite hope, healing, and eternal life.

John 14:23

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”
