*****************

Two construction workers sat down to eat their lunch. 

The first construction worker burst forward with a tirade, “Not baloney again! I can’t stand baloney.  It’s the world’s worst sandwich.  I hate it.  This is the third time in this week I’ve had this miserable excuse for a meal.”

The other worker when he could get a word in edgewise replied, “Why don’t you ask your wife to make you something different?”

“I don’t have a wife,” was the snarled response.

Sometimes when we truly need to change, to get rid of the baloney in our lives, the only person we really have to blame is ourselves. 

 

Which leads me to ask the question.  Have you ever collected and restored antiques? 

My wife and I never have but we admire people who do. 

People who can take some old table, chair or bookcase, that looks beyond redemption, and make it a thing of beauty.  Scrape off old coats of paint or varnish.  Bring out all of the beauty that once was there.

 I think this is God and this is man. 

We are all, on our first day of birth, wide-eyed and innocent, and then as we grow older temptation comes to call, and weakness answers the door. 

We pile up our sins of omission and commission and daily acquire overlays of unworthiness, and what does God do? 

He looks at us and accepts us as we are; dents, scratches and imperfections - one and all.  Restores us by His redeeming grace. 

Brings us back to Him to be loved and fathered and forgiven. 

And, in a sense saves us from our baloney problems.

"Thy faith hath made thee whole."  Matt 9:22

A quote below from tomorrow’s ONE A DAY blog entitled SING ALONG WITH YOUYRSELF

“Would you better feel and understand the love of God more?  Then put your faith to song. 

Pull out your hymn book, if you can read music and have had the wisdom to have a hymn book at home, or put on a Christian CD and have a private sing along..  Combining such truth and music together at other places besides the sanctuary really can produce little miracles with big results.

I’m not talking about whether…”
