So from the "ashes" of the demolition project...
In March, we had to rich up half of our wood-planked floor because the part near the sink had rotted out from water damage. Mike borrowed some lethal tools from Tom, and set to work pulling up the floor, while Marianne moved around sweeping up the sawdust after him. (Picture that little cleaning robot, "M-O" in Wall-E...). This little demolition project was shortly before Easter. Marianne is currently serving as the Chaplain of Pader Girls Academy, and wanted to do a prayer walk around the school with a large cross to be held as a symbolic reminder of Jesus' death. So from the "ashes" of the demolition project... A new thing was made! (Can you spot Mike in this photo?) The prayer walk was really nice. Some invited guests came and also shared with the girls. Here below, Pastor JJ and Rev. Canon Robinson are encouraging the girls. At the end, Marianne stood up with the cross and shared a brief message about how when a person accepts Christ, the "old self" (i.e. our selfish nature) is put to death on the cross, and we become a new creation. She invited any of the girls who identified themselves as a follower of Jesus to write their names on a paper and come and put it on the cross. So that is how some old wood scraps from our kitchen floor were transformed into a symbol of God's amazing love for us. An allegory of God's transformational touch, perhaps?
