The Carpenter

I've done a lot of remodeling in our home. I'm not the best carpenter, but I try. My carpentering is hard on my thumb because I often hit the wrong nail. Nevertheless, I've learned that drywall and paneling can cover a lot of mistakes. Wide trim can even cover mistakes in the drywall or paneling. Frequently, we mess up our lives. Things get out of square. We get on the wrong line. Some of our attitudes and behaviors are too short while others are too long. I'm grateful the Lord, who was a carpenter, can finish out our lives with beauty. He is after all the master carpenter and that's good news.
