"The bottom brick looks lighter than the top." Mary Helen's fears were allayed by her wise husband's response, "the bottom is dry and the top isn't."
THERE ---- just like that. Peace reigned.
Remember in the 70s we had that wonderful Christianese slang, PBPWMGIFY....Please be patient with me, God isn't finished yet. We all thought we were so cool! Between that and the total confidence maranatha was our secret decoder ring word, we were rocking.
But, you know something? He really isn't finished yet. There are parts of us that show much more promise than others. There are soft softs and weaknesses that seem to jump out.
That is when we need wise heads to remind us "He who began a good work will FINISH it."
Brick masons don't get paychecks and reputations by leaving the job half done. We have a fulltime God who is in the business of bricking our temples --- and with the very best.
Mary Helen's house will be finished by October. The brick will match; the concerns will be forgotten; and the celebration will begin.
We have a celebration day waiting for us, as well. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! (Maranatha, for you old Jesus people!)
