Story of the Day
The machine was acting up the past couple of days. It began a cut and chattered and the part may have been ruined. This was an expensive part and an important part that if not correctly machined, and put into the jet engine, could impact the lives of people. The repair could not be taken lightly. So we are careful. We work over, past the shift and do all that we can to assure that a good part is produced. If not, the part would be scrap, rather than risking the lives of people.
Daily we try to heal machines. Machines grow old with age and begin to wear down. Sometimes replacement parts are obsolete and no longer in production. So we do the best we can. Imagine a repairman that can go beyond all these issues. Imagine someone that can go beyond the physical natures of wear and tear and bring healing not only physically but spiritually.
Imagine a repairman willing to work the day long, taking care of issues of the machines he so greatly loves. Imagine a repairman who would gain the admiration of all the machines in the shop. The machines would clamor for his presence and seek his repair skills. A repairman that makes the machines not only feel physical repair but something much more special deep within. How all the machines in the shop would declare this one repairman to be the only repairman in their lives.
Imagine how the machines would feel so gifted to have this repairman bless their lives. How much would the machines yearn for his touch. Imagine how the machines would respond. How they would want to tell all the machines in shops all over the world that there was this repairman that could do something very special in their lives. A repairman that freed them from the confines of breakdowns and allowed them to serve the world with the wonderful parts they could produce. Parts that somehow contained something new and exciting, something beyond just adherence to tolerances, but something with a life giving value contained within. Imagine what these machines would do for you and for me.
Imagine...
Prayer of the Day
Lord, I come to You in need of repair. Fix me, bless me, call me, send me. I lovingly respond in a joy beyond understanding to all You have done in my life. Thanks! Now, I go, blessed, fixed, and gifted to proclaim Your glory to all the world. ---Amen
