About

Our church youth group went on a mission trip recently and I was intrigued about one of the stories that they came back with. The group that our pastor was in was to do roofing. Now remember most of the participants are Jr. High and High School age kids with two adults per work site. Our pastor admits to not possessing carpentry skills and was rather lost about how to shingle a roof let alone teach a bunch of kid how. There was a person who came to the sites for basic instruction but he had a lot of sites to cover so each team was basically on their own.

Luckily (…but there is no luck or coincidences) next door lived a professional roofer who had been out of work for almost two years. With the economy, no one was building. When he saw what was going on, he came over to help out (much to our pastor’s relief). This man had seen that his neighbor needed a new roof but he did not have the money to buy shingles for this person. The neighbor was glad for the opportunity to help, putting his skills to work.
The team had all week to work and several days into the roofing job, the neighbor had a call which contained a job offer that would start the next week! No job for 2 years then he steps outside of himself and it comes to him.

We are often confronted with such idiosyncrasies. We worry and worry about something and that holds it back. Law of Attraction again, we worry so it brings more worry to us. Then we start to do something constructive and it feels good and things start to turn around to provide more of what feels good.
