A Boy, A Man, and A Project

For a boy without a dad, 

the 4 days Luke spent with Joe while building the deck on our pool, 

were much more than just learning how to build.

It was also Luke learning how to be a man.

The tools used by Joe to teach Luke how to build a deck were saws, a nail gun, and a level.

The tools used by God to help build Luke's character were Joe's patience, care, teaching, and projecting to Luke that his help was wanted, needed, and most of all, valued.  

Thank you, Joe, for your hard work on the deck.

We love it.

But thank you so much more for your time with my boy.
