I can remember the years we spent building our home that we call Bradford Hall.
It actually took my son one whole year to finish the interior.
He took his time, and the result was amazing.
We mortals today race along from one project to the next as fast as our ulcers will allow. No wonder the result is often shoddy work. There was an era in our country when craftsmen took time to build great houses, paint great pictures, and write great literature.
The quality of the product suffers when we do a rush job just to meet a deadline. I have always been in a hurry, but today I am a "stop and smell the roses" kinda guy and I love that about me. There are certain things I never want to give up on ...
The quality of my parenting.
The quality of my teaching.
The quality of my friendships and relationships.
The quality of my training.
Bottom line: God expects much from us because he is ready to work in us to will and to do what he expects. The true perfectionist knows he is not perfect nor is anyone else, but excellence is his goal and he moves toward it.
You only get one pass at life, so why not do your best?
