Fixing Things

Don't look out for your own interests, but take an interest in others too.

Philippians 2:4 (NLT)


The subject came up again this morning: kitchen countertops. Honest, I have been thinking about it. You see, new countertops are a priority for my wife Kris, and I have been very open to discussing, looking, even getting estimates, but the figures seem a little more than expected. So, I've been slow to act.

I have to confess, I don't mind the tile countertops--they look nice ... I think. Kris disagrees. The grout discolors, the uneven surface is hard to clean, and it's not a functional countertop. So, though I'm fine with the way our kitchen looks, I know my heart has not been set on finding an answer and a fix for Kris, and I'm sorry.

It's time to make the call. It's time for Corian--Kris' dream come true. As a follower of Christ and a husband who wants to show love, it's the least I can do.


Father, help me find a way to make this work. Surprise us, and bless Kris with her new kitchen. Amen.
