Worker Man

Defines our little guy. Oh, how he loves to work alongside C on the myriad ongoing projects we have around our neck of the wood. 

It makes my heart melt as I watch my two boys work…C’s patience is incredible as he lets B ‘help’ and talks with B about whatever project is at hand.

It’s not rare to hear phrases similar to these come out of B’s mouth, ‘This is a pliers’ or ‘Here’s the wrench Daddy!’. 

B’s little heart exemplifies Colossians 3:23 – ‘Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for man’. We pray that this work ethic someday transpires into a desire to work whole-heartedly for the Lord.

With-that-said…

B has gotten quite comfortable around C’s workbench and tools…a little too close for comfort in my mind as he simply sees himself as capable as C. 

When I stumbled upon this workshop at a neighbor’s garage sale, I jumped at the opportunity to provide B with a safe, B-friendly workspace…that could fit snuggly next to his C’s workbench in the garage.

The set came complete with tools, nuts, bolts, screws and even a working light!

B was thrilled when we opened the garage door and he discovered his new work space.

He and C quickly got to work as they tried out the vice-grip…

And even used the plastic pliers to tighten a plastic bolt…

The light may have been the biggest hit, as B offered to turn the garage light off and use his light to help C work.

Later, once the evening’s projects got under way, our little worker was set…ready and wanting to help, as always!

Happy working.

Be blessed.
