Work in Progress

The living room, dining room, and upstairs hallway are now painted, the wonderful "sycamore" color that we first applied years ago. But the house is not quite reassembled as there is a bit more to tackle. It is good to have the work under way. And so I don't mind that I am living in "a work in progress." It's just comforting to "see the progress" again.

Work in progress? That describes us, that describes you and me and all those who follow Jesus until the moment He calls us Home. Tonight many things remain only half done. The climb out of the valley is not yet over and traveling companions both old and new are helping me find a renewed zest for the pilgrimage. It is just good to know that He who began the good work in us will "finish the job" on His day.
