Thumbtacks and Screws

By Joey Tripoli

He said, “I miss the red curtains.”

I told him, “I do too.”

He said, “I wish our house

was stuck together

with tape…

and glue…

and thumbtacks…

and screws.”

We live in a world where things break. Homes. Families. Hopes and dreams… Falling apart is just too easy. In fact, it’s inevitable…without a Carpenter.

Meet Jesus. Or rediscover him as your Carpenter. The One who “stands at your door and knocks,” ready to come in and fix all that’s broken. He’s the only One who can. Despite every tool you’ve got in that giant toolbox of yours, it’s not enough. We simply don’t have what it takes to “hold it together.”

But with Jesus, everything changes! He can rebuild, redeem, and restore any life. He can make your life beautiful! That’s what he came here to do. That’s why he stands at your door, and knocks. But it’s up to you to say, “Come in.” Let his love, his sacrifice, and his grace fill your heart, build your faith, and renew your spirit.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (Revelation 21:5, KJV)
