Chip off the old block
"He's a chip off the old block". It means that someone is just like someone or something else, very similiar. A lot of times it happens with parent and child,or brothers and sisters. Not so with me, though.I didn't get get my father's great skill as a carpenter, I didn't get his intelligence, his common sense, his wisdom,his knowledge about just about everything. At least I got his looks. A few people have told me that I look just like him. At least I got that. I want to be a "chip off the old block" with Jesus.What a challenge,what a goal. Impossible on my own,but with His grace, glimpses of Him can be seen. Lord, may those grow bigger and more regular as I walk with You.
