A Purposeful LIfe

I like to tell my husband that I am here to give his life purpose.  He laughs and thinks to himself that he could use a little less purpose.  :)

The cabinet is coming along nicely but it looks like the next week will be down time.  Tom did some serious damage to one of his hands yesterday and then today he damaged the other hand on the router and it is damaged so badly that he needs to let it rest and heal.  Both wounds bled profusely and one of them probably should have had stitches but he refused, being the tough guy he is, so he needs to be really careful and not break it open again.  

I think I enjoy the woodworking a bit more than Tom.  Don't get me wrong, he enjoys it as long as I'm not asking a million questions or if something goes a bit wrong...lol.  I tend to want to know exactly what we are doing next.  Step by step and if I don't understand it, I ask again.  Poor Tom.  I've never been one to learn anything halfway.  Since there is so much that is 'directional' and I am 'directionally challenged' it makes it hard on him.

Here are the latest pictures.  The bay walls are finally up!  The cleats are in also.  We got the kick panel done but have not installed it yet.  That's about it for now.





God's Love Will Not Let Go
By Max Lucado
George Matheson was a teenager when doctors told him he was going blind.  He graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1861.   By the time he finished graduate seminary studies, he was sightless.  His fiance returned his engagement ring with a note.  I cannot see my way clear to go through life bound by the chains of marriage to a blind man.
Matheson adapted to his sightless world but never quite recovered from his broken heart.  He became a powerful and poetic pastor, led a full and inspiring life, turning to the unending love of God for comfort.  And he penned these words:
"Oh love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow may richer fuller be."
The love of people may come and go, but God's love will never leave you.
