A work of art

The ‘Pickers’ got a call from their old friend Joe who saw a ‘Von Dutch’    motorcycle that might be the XANW. The XANW was a custom motorcycle built by the legendary Kenny Howard himself in 1966.  If Elvis was the King of rock and roll, Kenny was the king of pin stripers.  The XANW had a Volkswagen motor, a Honda 450 gas tank and was built on a 1942 Harley XA frame.  It was a one of a kind. Joe thought he’d seen it, the original.  When the ‘Pickers’ tracked down their leads, they found a Von Dutch motorcycle in a shed, on a farm, in North Carolina.  Sure enough, it had the Von Dutch name etched by hand on the motor.  They paid $21,000 for a bike with flat tires that didn’t run. They commented that when all the lines lit up - they’d found a treasure. 

Made me think about how God is the master craftsman who is working his grand strategy in this world. He is drawing people to himself and each one of us has a bit part. It is his work not ours! We humbly and happily persist, even though we don't know how God is going to use what we have to offer! We offer a smile, encourage with a word or a gift, help where we can. When it all comes together - the grid lights up like a Christmas tree. Each one does his part but God is crafting a work of art.  Read about it in I Corinthians 3:7!
