Quit Ye Like Men!

One of my Christmas presents I got this year was a chisel set that came in four varied sizes. I was excited! For this was going to be put in the toolbox I have sitting at the end of my bed.

The last many years, I have gotten all kinds of tools, and my toolbox is full of different items. 

I have a hammer, screwdrivers, a wrench set, a level, vice grips, pliers, a saw, a tool belt, and lots more objects in my box. This year I got to add a chisel set!

Dad and Mom started gifting tools when their first grandchild was born. They wanted to give their future generations something that would help them later in life, so they decided to provide each of them and us with a basic set of tools. 

The first year they start out with a toolbox, then each year for Christmas they give everyone one or a couple of tools to add to their box.

All the girls get other tools like paint brushes, measuring cups, and knitting needles. They also have a toolbox to store these things in. Theirs are called Titus 2 Kits, and the boxes that we boys receive are called Quit Ye Like Men toolboxes. 

These tools help us all become men. In 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 it says: Stay steadfast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 

It is always thrilling to use my tools. I used my tool belt, hammer, and tape measure while repairing the granary roof. I used my square and level while we built the deck on the back side of the house. I am glad Dad and Mom had the idea of giving these kits as gifts. I am excited to see the next item I acquire!
