God, give Millie grace to accept with Serenity that her friends will laugh at her for the slowness of her renovation, Courage to ask her friends to not judge her by the quantity of her work but by the quality, and the Wisdom to keep her mouth shut & not tell those same friends to take their $100,000 designer kitchen & shove it up their fully imported, commercial-grade stainless steel range hood.
Living one Electrician's outrageous quotation at a time, on Enjoying the completion of another overdue project with humility, Accepting certain friends derision as a pathway to getting her come-uppance, Taking as Greg at Stirling Mitre 10 does, MOTH's sinful word about completion time of the Bathroom-From-Hell as it is, Not as it really will be, Trusting that the load-bearing beam supports that MOTH took down 2 years ago & hasn't replaced yet won't cause the Living Room ceiling to collapse when she's sitting watching The Biggest Loser on the telly, If she surrenders to MOTH's renovation time-line, So that she may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with a beautiful, completed house & a bunch of contrite, embarrassed friends who've realised they got mightily ripped off by their Builder forever in the next.
Amen.
