This is our last day to work on the house in Acuna. The family has been working alongside of us. There will be some finishing items that they will take care of themselves after we are gone, but the major construction will be finished today, Lord willing.

Our crew of 12 and the Director of Casas por Cristo have worked hard. I don’t mind telling you I am tired. But it is a good kind of tired, knowing that you have been doing something for someone else and thereby serving Jesus. I do not ever want to become weary of doing good, knowing what Jesus already did for me.

Here is the passage I am taking with me into the work day.

Galatians 6:2–10 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load. Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.  Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.  The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.  Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
