Having just traveled a few states to work in the summer heat, it was admirable how upbeat the youth were. Their mission trip involved hard work laboring to repair homes and make helpful upgrades.
They spent a lot of time in one house rebuilding part of a damaged wall. Everything from measuring to cutting to patching to painting was involved.
But when they got there the next morning, the wall was broken through again.
An angry, intoxicated individual had decided to smash it in. Chances were, if they fixed it, he’d do it again.
You can probably imagine how they felt.
Although that example is extreme, we live in cycles bound mutually by futility and purpose every day.
Join me at Recharge Wednesday to read more about futility and renewal.
