We Are His Workmanship
I love this verse out of Ephesians 2. v10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” I pause to meditate on the word workmanship.

I’d been backside-in-chair since Christmas with a fast week up to Indiana for the ACFW Board meeting and a few days with Hubster’s parents.
