God's Churning

My guys love homemade ice cream!  Before churns, freezers, and store bought cartons, my grandfather made ice cream in metal ice trays -- a little milk, sugar & vanilla.  What fun those snack times were when we enjoyed his homemade delicacy!

God is churning us day-by-day into His work of art.  It's the mix of blessings, trials, joys, and disappointments that churn us into the delicacy of His character.  We sometimes scream, kick, pout, and whine learning often too late how much more pleasant it is when we just surrender to His complete authority in the process.  The best way to God's heart-work in our lives is found in Psalm 23:26: "My son, give me thine heart ... "  Daddy Bill had his own recipe and process for homemade ice cream, and so it is with The Father -- His Character from His Recipe and His churning!
