Christ Is My Builder

There is a tapestry which has hung on my mothers wall for years, given by a dear friend of ours. Hebrew 3:4 "For every house is built and furnished by someone, But the builder and furnisher of all things is God." Today I was building in the natural. Standing on roof trusses, sweating like a man, with the men, doing what the men do. I enjoy this kind of work very much. But my favorite building, is the building which can only be done through the power of Christ [though it doesn't mean that we do not toil in labor at times, as we are his instruments for building]. And today, I also got to enjoy Christ supernatural building! How blessed am I that it was in our sweet little house. Tonight we had youth group, just a fun, simple, game night, playing, screaming, developing relationship in the best of ways. And to make it even sweeter, my neighbors [not just the teen, but her little sister and mother as well] all came and spent the entire evening with us, laughing and talking with the rest of them. Tonight as I look back and think through my day, I think of that tapestry I read everyday as I was being raised. Mom, Dad this is your spiritual harvest. It is not just Jonathan and my gift from God. It is the blessing handed down to us through a Christ centered, hospitality and ministry focused Heritage.
