Jesus was a carpenter.
"Is this not the carpenter?" they asked in His own hometown. (Mark 6:3) Before He ever preached a sermon, He worked with His hands. He measured. He cut. He built things that had to stand. And He did it the way He did everything: with integrity, and with accountability.
He had a family to provide for, and there is no shame in an honest living earned by honest work. But I don't believe Jesus ever looked at a customer and saw a customer. He saw a person. I believe when a widow's door hung crooked and she had nothing to pay, He fixed it anyway, and was glad to. I believe He was never anxious just to land the next job. He was anxious to make a new friend. The repair was the reason for the visit. It was never the whole visit. Given half a chance, He would share what He carried: His experience with the Divine.
That's the Spirit we work in at Fresh Start Home Services. Yes, we roof, we paint, we build, and we earn our living doing it, with integrity and accountability. But nobody who calls us is ever just a customer.
And many of you hearing this know that's true, because you're the proof of it. You didn't stay followers of a page, and you didn't stay customers of a company. Through the years, through the jobs and the conversations and the prayers at kitchen tables, you became personal friends. That's not an accident. That's what happens when the work is done in this Spirit.
If we can leave a home stronger and a person encouraged, then the job was done right.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." (Colossians 3:23)
