The Repair Shop                                                    
 
    For months I have been unable to work in my shop (Happy Place), therefore, I watch a lot of shows on the British craftsmen repairing the antique treasured items of the U.K. residents: old clocks, lots of teddy bears, metal works, and toys.
    People bring in these treasured family items, all seemingly ready for the rubbish heap. The craftsmen and women work their magic, and I love to see the “wow” of the owners when they see new toys, bears, paintings, and clocks. Lot of tears, smiles, and hugs.
    Christ has the grandest repair shop of all. I thought of that when I was watching the show. Look at Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
    A lot is not said here! Who is weary and burdened? Loss of a spouse after fifty years, a child killed, hearing the dreaded C word. This is all of us, and I am so happy and blessed that Christ gave us the Comforter when he ascended. I need repairing!
