Custom-Made
“Made to individual specifications” is the Merriam-Webster definition of custom-made. One of the dictionary’s antonyms for custom-made is mass-produced. We saw many custom-made touches in the eclectic collection of cabins in Daisy Town. Here are some examples:
Scalloped trim on the front porch . . .
. . . of this house.
Custom-made front porch railings . . .
. . . on this one.
A custom-made fireplace.
A custom-made cabinet.
A custom-made corner cabinet in one corner of this room . . .
. . . and another corner cabinet in another corner of the room.
Plus a custom-made shelf in a third corner . . .
. . . and another custom-made shelf in the fourth corner.
A custom-made door — to the bathroom perhaps?
And I assume that this child’s playhouse was custom-made.
One of the many beauties of what you do everyday is providing a custom-made education for each of your children—much better than one that is mass-produced!
So He told them this parable, saying,Â
“What man among you,
if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them,
does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture
and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?Â
When he has found it,
he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.Â
And when he comes home,
he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them,
‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’Â
I tell you that in the same way,
there will be more joy in heaven
over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous persons
who need no repentance.”
Luke 15:3-7
