Jesus looked around the carpentry shop.

He stood for a moment in the refuge of the little room that housed so many sweet memories...

Among the voices that found their way into that carpentry shop in Nazareth was your voice. Your silent prayers uttered on tear-stained pillows were heard before they were said. Your deepest questions about death and eternity were answered before they were asked.*

"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There  we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most."—Hebrews 4:16
