I enjoy seeing a thing of usefulness or just beauty emerge from an ordinary small log of wood. Two days ago I posted a picture of this fellow still in the wood, clamped for turning. Here it is finished. I believe God sees in us potential that we do not see at all or could hardly believe that it is there.  With his patience and tools, sometimes sharp, he shapes us and brings out of what looks like useless wood, a piece of beauty.  Good thought.
