No discipline seems
enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the fruit of
peace and righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11
We are in the middle of some
minor renovations at our house. It didn’t start because I just wanted to update
a room. It began because of a small problem. We had a small leak in one of the
pipes behind our commode. It was so small it seemed more of an irritation
rather than an actual problem.
Wrong.
By the time we got around to
dealing with it, the damage was extensive. Fortunately our son works in
construction, and he was able to do the work for us. But it meant he had to cut
out several large sections of sheet rock and replace it.
