Do your best!
Dr. Ironside, when a boy, helped his widowed mother by working during vacation, Saturdays, and out of school for a Scottish shoe worker who was a Christian. He posted Bible verses all over the shop so that everywhere one looks, he would see the Word of God. No package went out to a customer without a tract or a word of testimony, and many came back for salvation.
Dr. Ironside’s Job was to pound leather for shoe soles. A piece of cowhide was cut to size, soaked in water, and pounded in until it was hard and dry. After endless poundings, he was weary. One day, he noticed that another godless cobbler was not pounding, but was nailing the soles while still wet. “So they come back quicker,” was the reply. The Christian owner explained to Ironside: “I do not cobble Just for $.50 or $,75 from customers. I do it for the glory of God. In heaven I expect every shoe returned to me in a pile, and I do not want the Lord to say, “Dan, that was a poor Job. You did not do your best.”
