Here I am again...

Here I am again, on Gods work bench and he is teaching me the lessons of life. He lovingly and quietly removes the rotted, chewed, or discolored wood to reveal his master creation. At least I believe that I am his master creation.

He has been spending several months with different tools some small, some sharp, and others quick. But this time he reaches for a large flat tool. It is heavy and rather dull. He takes long slow draws, up and down. Boy I would much rather he went back to the short, sharp, small, stuff. But he keeps at it, blowing away the small crumbs of wood that he is creating. This is going to take awhile.

I am not sure how long this will take. I must say that it isn't fun, but all I can do is submit to his tool.

After a time I am sure that he will choose another and work on a different part of my life. He will hang that large flat dull tool back when it has completed this part of the work. He may choose it again in the future but at least for awhile I hope that he will give it a rest. And leave it there hanging under the small label patience.
