Remodeling
Our Lives
Every time spring returns, we are reminded that things
are always changing. Tulips start to push their spiky tips through
the freshly thawed ground. Buds start to show on bushes and
trees. At the same time, we seem to be inspired to create a
sense of renewal in our own lives. Maybe it’s a new garden or
decorating a room full of vibrant colors, or adding a waterfall in
the backyard.
Some people look forward to remodeling as a sort of fresh
start. Others look at change as a task, or something that we have
to do in order to accomplish something else. I want to touch on
the topic of remodeling in a larger sense, as it relates to our lives.
Graduation, marriage, divorce, and promotion are all aspects
of change, and in order to get to those points, we are forced to
remodel what we are currently doing.
One of life’s biggest remodeling jobs happens when there is a
death in the family. Mom was the one who took care of
everything, cooking the meals and making sure the kids were
taken care of; Dad took care of the mowing, taking out the
garbage, and making sure the family was safe and protected.
Remodeling is an understatement when it comes to the
transition that a family has to bear when a loved one is lost.
Checking accounts, credit cards, and titles to homes and cars are
just a few of the things that need addressing and changing. Who
now is going to balance the check book and pay the bills? Who
will fix the leak in the faucet or weed the flower beds or cut the
grass? Who is going to cook the meals?
These are questions we never really want to ask ourselves until
we have to, but when it comes to other kinds of remodeling, we
always take steps in order to accomplish our goals. We have a
plan in place that addresses what we are going to do and when.
Similarly, we should always have a plan in place when there
is going to be change within our families. Being prepared is
the key to a successful remodeling job, whether it is your house or
your life!
