The Next Time You Get Frustrated

I’m building an office in my garage. I am no carpenter but I’m doing well on this project. At first I was frustrated because I couldn’t get the concrete nails in my garage floor. The nails busted the concrete. I almost quit. Then I thought “What would Jesus do? He was a carpenter. He would know exactly what to do.” This had a calming affect on me. It seems so trite but it actually made me patient and renewed my resolve to continue. I went back to the hardware and discovered concrete bits and concrete screw nails. They worked like a charm. Since then I’ve made good progress. Inviting the Lord into simple everyday things really helps me. I’m enjoying working and making sure that it’s done right. At each successful point I show Kim what I have accomplished (just like a little boy) and she encourages me by saying things like “That’s good Jeff.” So with the Lord’s help and Kim’s encouragement I am accomplishing something I’ve never done before and I’m proud of it. The next time you get frustrated talk to Jesus about it and then go find someone to encourage you – it really works
