While on one of my jobs as a carpenter I was asked to make a crown out of a star (small wooden) for an elephant that would end up on a small plaque for a special needs girl for her party. I thought it came out very nice and for SOME REASON I had gold paint to spruce it up with . Every happenstance is presented to us by God and if Jesus truly resonates within your heart and mind you garner joy for doing such a (what seems) little task . Every aspect is laid out before us and it is up to us which path is chosen and what you allow yourself to see . Childlike faith is best to be able to marvel at Gods creations and to be able to giggle at ourselves for thinking we were in control. That’s my view of what consists and what I see as important ...Glory and Praise to God , his son and our saviour Jesus and never forget the helper . John M. Brady aka/mythenjoseph

Thank you for your post today. The referenced Scripture is an object lesson for all of us.

There is a war within us between coveteousness and giving.

I’m finding out that it gives me great joy just to give to someone else.
