20230618- My Father was a Carpenter - Kitchen makevover reflections!
The Kitchen makeover process was quite an eye opener.
I love to watch HGTV home makeovers! But this time, solely kitchen!
I never realized how important the skills of a carpenter or quartz table man or electrician or a plumber can be so interconnected. Measurement must be precise. The accuracy and skills of such a person are so important.
The mistakes by the carpenter & the quartz cutter caused unnecessary delays and wastage of materials.
Perhaps this is life.
Perhaps Jesus who grew up in the home of a carpenter, trained as one, had profound life long foundations for us to take home. All the skills requirement?
C - Calculation skills
A - Artisan skills
R - Responsibility skills
P - Precision skills
E - Experience skills
N - Neatness skills
T - Technical skills
E - Equipping skills
R - Respect skills
The kitchen makeover requires lots of teamwork!
It hinges not on just the carpenter. But on the rest of the other teams too.
This whole process reminded me of the need for the body.
The main coordinator to helm the teams together.
The 'schedular'so that the parts and pieces can be layered upon step by step.
Kitchen makeover. It is a process. It took about 10 days for actual completion. Provided that there were no hiccups in the measurement aspects.
Wrongs can be made right. This is what I have learnt.
All it requires was just some extension of time.
Is this not liken to our own life journey?
We still and can make mistakes in life.
But we thank God we have Jesus as our Savior . He is our chief Carpenter of our life. He measures, he cuts, he chips, he sands and he reconstructs.
