A man applied for a job as a handyman. The prospective employer asked, “Can you do carpentry?” The man answered in the negative.
“How about bricklaying?” Again the man answered, “No.” The employer asked, “Well, what about electrical work?” The man said, “No, I don’t know anything about that either.”
Finally the employer said, “Well, then tell me what is handy about you.” The man replied, “I live just around the corner.”
Sometimes the greatest ability we can have is availability. To be where God can call us, to be within whisper range of His summons, that is the beginning of a life of meaningful discipleship. (King Duncan, “Time for Action”)
