I did not know Jesus when He was a young lad learning to build birdhouses. He disliked building the seemingly insignificant projects. He longed to work with his father on the more important ones. We all have thought at one time or another how wonderful it would be to obtain instant knowledge without the rigors of study and hands-on experience. Jesus’ father knew well that starting small would help the young lad to learn manual dexterity, about working with the grain of the wood, different types of wood, different types of fasteners, the tools to connect each piece. | I did not know Jesus when He was a young lad learning to build birdhouses.
