I got a strange Fathers Day gift last week from my wife, even tho the gifts are typical little things a man would use they came with a different emphasis from her she put them in a nice gift bag with a note..thought I share with you:
Philippians 4:8
Finally Brothers, whatever is pure, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things.
The HAMMER is to remind you to keep building. Keep being built, and even remodeled. Hammers are different but they are solid.
The SCISSORS are to remind you to trim your wick so you can burn brighter. Cut out of your life what keeps you from God’s purpose.
The MEASURING TAPE is to remind you that you should check your measurements and the distance between right Godly choices….but you don’t have to measure up to others.
The CLAMP is to remind you to hold strong to the Lord’s ways. Let God hold you tighter than anything. Don’t clamp it to you if it aint for you.
Isaiah 40:31 (King James Version)
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
I could add my thoughts…but I think this says it all…it’s amazing how the simple things around us can be reminders to “Be all God called us to be”….
