Blessings for "Hope Renfrew"

"Hope Renfrew" is our temporary working name for the house in Vancouver that we are restoring as Sacred Space.

These words from Amos seem so fitting:
Blessings Like Wine Pouring off the Mountains
11" I will restore this sacred space that has fallen to pieces. I'll repair the holes in the roof, replace the broken windows, fix it up like new. The downtown eastside women will be strong again 12and seize what's left of enemy Edom, plus everyone else under my sovereign judgment." GOD's Decree. He will do this.
13"Yes indeed, it won't be long now." GOD's Decree.
"Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once--and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. 14I'll make everything right again for my people Israel:
"They'll rebuild their lives.
They'll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
15And I'll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They'll never again be uprooted from the land I've given them."
GOD, your God, says so.

highlited areas make this blessing our own prayer for Hope Renfrew!
