Homestretch

We’re in the homestretch of the hard times

We’ve been laid low by the evils of this world

We’ve been laid low by demons

Laid low by our own addictions

And naysayers

We took a hard left

To a tall cliff

And fell like the rug was pulled out from under us

But the house don’t fall when the bones are good

We put our faith in God

Therefore we have a strong foundation

We don’t put our faith in the houses of men

But in the firm foundation

Jesus gave

The paint peels and sometimes the

Glass does shatter

But we are and have always been more than

Our addictions

We are, have always been, and will always be God’s children

We were Gods children before we accepted our destinies

Now we’re building back up

We’re taking and building back up from the

Old bones of our own houses

We’re taking out the rot

And building back up putting in new posts

New frames

Redesigning our old spaces

So its more efficient

Putting up fresh clean drywall

Artfully putting on new paint

Under the watching and approving gaze

Of our loving father

Putting in new double pane windows

So we build our house up better than before

Where there’s hope there’s healing

And where our God is there is hope
