When it comes to doing "handy man" stuff I'm a pretty good pastor. Becki knows this and so in her fear she is quick to suggest we get help to do anything that takes skill or know-how. I can do yard work, I can vacuum, I can fold laundry, I can help do many things... But I'm not what anyone would call "handy."
This week we [read my friend Kevin] were going to replace our old stove-top with a new one that Becki got at 1/2 price! The hole in our granite island top was 1/2 inch too narrow! Kevin is a handy-man, but he is not a granite cutting handy-man. So, to the rescue comes another friend, Steve, who just happens to do all sorts of masonry work and who was more than willing to take care of my 1/2" problem.
And so, we now have a new stove top thanks to friends who believe in helping the helpless. I am truly thankful for friends who are willing to step into my life and in Jesus-like grace help this helpless man who would be lost without their love expressed in action. Kevin and Steve, thanks for making me think about grace and love and Jesus and helping the helpless...
