Our work began in earnest today. Erin and Judith did a lot of stucco. Cara and Jane painted. Ron and I pulled a rusty tub out of a bathroom and replaced it with a new fiberglass one. The things that we found delight in today didn't come out of our work. Some students in another group staying here found a fascinating beetle. LeAnn watched a storm come in over the ocean from the beach at South Padre Island. Later the remnants of that storm provided the most brilliant rainbow that I had ever seen, and clouds that had grown men standing around oohing and ahhing.
The best things in our life don't come from our hard work. They come as gifts. They come as grace. All we contribute to the matter is our response.
Our oohs and aahs were one response to grace. So was our work today. How are you responding to the beautiful grace in your life?
