Most People love HGTV
So here is a show for people to enjoy, with or without imagination. It's a challenge to the imaginative, creative, and artistic people that can make something out of anything, or take something totally ugly and useless and make it "functional." You know open concept..etc…
"Functional" ( used to contribute to the development or maintenance of the larger whole)
The host of these programs show us how to take the mundane, the antiquated and even the ugly, and transform it into something desirable and useful to the new or pending owner. Can you imagine…having your home in their hands???, Wow!, New and spacious kitchen that can accommodate 12 -20 people (that’s just my family), a dreamy bedroom with an amazing walking closet. Where every thing fits and is folded and coordinated. of course we need to have the on suite bathroom that has a whole space for just you and separate space for your husband. ( mines needs to be very separate) lol new paint, landscaping… i guess you get the idea. They also make it look so easy too. Like you can do this in a week or so…Que Fun! I can dream all day about projects… with the exception of my husband who hates projects…but that’s another story
But the truth behind this is that they have a crew of people doing the very hard work of demolishing and re-doing all the internal parts of the house. The very essential things necessary to enjoy the beautiful things of your home. Electricity, pipes, water heaters, and ac units… that’s not impressive to us. We just want to see the furniture, the appliances and the latest fad in home decor. We minimize the value of the essentials.
Thats just what people see. But if you want to enjoy your beautiful home. You need the lights and in San Antonio central air! Or open concept won’t cool you down in a hot June through September heat, trust.
Made me think, like I do sometimes.
We all have had to remodel our hearts and lives in one way or another. We needed a Savior, Jesus who gave us New Life. He took something old, something broken and in many cases something ugly and made it; Some ONE beautiful and repurposed us. Our wiring was off. Our hearts were broken. There needed to be a rewiring and renewing of our thoughts and mind. He had to fix us from the inside out. The you people don’t see. But HE DOES. Then our lives are repurposed (the reason for which we exit, are intended for)
We are all here to live life abundantly, to fulfill a task, and live on purpose. We are sometimes faced with random challenges or things thrown at us by life. however, we are also provided with an unlimited supply of resources. Not from Lowes or Home Depot but the Word of God and His Holy Spirit, through which we can create an amazing day, for sure a wonderful life. We are given by our Great Lord extra ordinary gifts, talents and creative ideas WITH the immediate assistance of His Holy Spirit. Can't get better than that. Living, not only a functional but victorious and impacting life. Taking an ordinary day and making it eXtraordinary, with ordinary people who are able to do eXtraordinary things
So as we develop our day, be creative, be impacting be FUNctional!
It's your choice, live on purpose.
(NKJV) Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
