familiar scent..

Lately, Stevie and I have had a pile of lumber sitting behind our house, waiting for it to turn into a deck. Each time I walk past it, I smell the delicious scent, and it reminds me how much I loved going with my dad to hardware/lumber stores when I was little. I have always loved the smell of lumber...

That gets me thinking, though! Jesus was a carpenter -- I wonder if the smell of wood made him smile. I wonder how much he loved the feel of it ... how much pleasure did he take in creating each piece of furniture, ladder, etc??

I smile as I sit here and think, "this is something I must have in common with Jesus.."

I'm blessed to know that God took joy in creating me. That He knew me before I was formed in the womb... before the idea of 'me' ever occurred to my parents.. He saved me from the scrap pile and turned me (...not just me - all of us!!) into a masterpiece.

Thank you, God for crafting each of us into creations with purpose!
