I’m slowly getting my house the way I want it. Little by little, I’m refreshing and renewing some of the areas that needed attention. Yesterday, I spent most of the day in the master bathroom. I restored the floor grout using Magic Eraser, which brought it back to its original color. Then I used a razor blade to scrape out the old caulking in the shower. Another trick I discovered was to use acetone on the light fixture glass to change them from a dated brownish color to white. I did the same thing to the chandeliers in the kitchen a few weeks ago. Using this one little discovery has saved Richard from having to replace all the fixtures in the house! 

The Bible is full of tools and valuable ideas about how to live life as if you are already in the kingdom of God. In many of the parables, Jesus would start them by saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like... “ and he would go on and tell a story. If you are dissatisfied with your life, open up the gospels and follow the steps of Jesus. He will tell you how to discover your original self, slough off all the old, become renewed, and begin living your purpose in him. Try it and see; you will be amazed at how good it feels.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
