Hello ,

Star Wars creator George Lucas hired Harrison Ford, then a carpenter, to build a door in the casting offices. But the director wasn’t just impressed by the star’s woodwork skills. Despite hundreds of people competing for the role, Lucas decided Harrison was actually the best person for the part.

Legendary producer Fred Roos said, “Harrison had done a lot of carpentry for me. He needed money, he had kids, he wasn't a big movie star yet. The day he was doing it, George happened to be there. It was serendipitous."

It was this serendipity that launched one of the greatest movie careers in history.

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going." 

Ecclesiastes 9:10

There is real value in showing up and doing a good job. Harrison Ford is a prime example, but there is one Who has given us a perfect example Who is even greater. 

Think about it; Jesus (the Creator) bowed down before the feet of His disciples and washed their dirty feet just hours before He would be tried for a crime He didn't commit, to die for you and me. 

What a blessing to have a relationship with someone like Jesus, and it should compel us to do our best at whatever we find to do. 

Have a great day and God bless!
