The Rewards of Diligence

"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." (Proverbs 22:29)

Can I brag on my husband for a bit? I'm allowed, aren't I?~smile~



His work has a been a trial as of late, because of how no matter how hard he works, they keep "rewarding" him with paycuts, cut hours, and reducing our health insurance benefits. Nothing new. This is happening all over the place.


The Lord has, however, not let this go unnoticed. He keeps good accounts.


Over the last few years, and especially in the last few months, He has provided my hubby many opportunities to moonlight as a freelance consultant, training others in using the machines that he is so skilled at using (wire EDM).


Today, one of the people he has just started doing some part time Wire EDM work for related to him an amusing story. Apparently, he called the maker of these machines he uses, to see if they would send someone in to do some training. He currently has no one (other than Martin) to do the work, but he doesn't have quite enough work to hire Martin full time. The company told him that they don't directly provide training for that machine, but they can recommend a very skilled freelancer in Michigan--my husband!


Needless to say, what a compliment!
