My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
When a new highway loop was being completed in West Michigan, a real danger was discovered. The bridges had been designed to bear their own weightbut not the traffic they were intended to carry. Before the highway could be opened, several bridges had to be re-engineered and rebuilt.
Engineers have to be especially concerned with the tensile strength of the material in their construction plans for structures that are required to bear large amounts of stress due to weight. Tensile strength is the maximum amount of stretching a material can withstand before it tears. If the engineer miscalculates, the structure may collapse under the pressure.
When we are under the weight of stress and hardship, we may wonder whether our Lord, who engineered us, has miscalculated our personal tensile strength. We are certain that we are going to collapse under the weight of the trials, but our Designer knows exactly what we can handle by His grace. He knows our limits and will never permit more than we can bear. As Bible teacher Ron Hutchcraft said, God may send a load, but He never sends an overload!
Reinforced by the steel of Gods provision, our tensile strength wont fail.

Hi feather, we got the house!! Yeah. We should be all moved down here by the 31st. We feel much better!
Oh thank God! I am so happy for you, Sam and the dogs!!!
Oh boy, moved in by the 31st grand, just grand!
Thanks so much for the good news.
I just realized that is Sarge!! How sweet!
No, Sarge is cute but that's not him. LOL. He doesn't have that much fur. He's a lab so he's got short blonde hair.
Oh shoot, LOL!
Of course as one of the guys at work said "if you tried that nowaddays you would have a SWAT team on your butt so fast" sigh

Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:18
When James Cates was a university student, he worked the night shift as a houseparent in a residential treatment center. One of his responsibilities was the sometimes overwhelming task of doing the laundry for 23 teenage boys.
The laundering process was hard on the clothes, so when a troubled young resident named Jake was given a new shirt from his mother, James offered to wash it separately. Soon other boys began asking him to include a favorite article of clothing in his special load. It was a small act of kindness, but it meant a lot to the boys.
Twenty years later, after establishing a successful practice as a therapist, teaching at a university, and being published in scholarly journals, Cates wrote: With time to look back and reflect, no client I have ever known and no service I have ever performed means more to me than Jake and his shirt, and those special loads of clothes.
A simple act of caring is a powerful expression of Gods compassion in our troubled world. The apostle John wrote, My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:18). Is there some washing you can do today?
Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year: Psalms 110-112; 1 Corinthians 5

Yes, I'm doing another roof this week. Yuck, not one of my favorite things to do but it pays the bills.
Enjoy your rest.
