The Colander

I am about to tell off on myself. Risky. But here goes.

Cooked pasta drained in a colander. IMG_0712

Have you ever noticed the starch left behind takes a little more pressure to clean than some other residues? I noticed. Profoundly so today.

Water was hot and sudsy and I was set on moving quickly. Colander in hand, quick rub, set in the draining basket, oops missed a spot. Back in the water, another quick wipe, back in the basket and what! I blurted aloud, “You’re about to make me mad!” Simultaneously the word board of my mind read: “No. That would be YOUR choice (not the colander’s).” 

 I smiled. Gave Him praise and felt much-loved.

A long weekend coming up – enjoy and give thanks.

Ruthie

It has been said, “Curiosity killed the cat.” 

This morning our cat, Ruthie, was curious. Actually, Ruthie is curious every morning but this morning I got pictures. :)

As often as weather permits I go out to our deck to enjoy my Bible Study time; right now I am continuing with Hebrews a Better Blend by Leah Adams and Ruthie is often near by. This morning she decided to get an up close and personal look at what occupies me in the mornings.  It is also said a picture is worth a thousand words. Here’s two. But never fear the words are coming as well – just not two thousand, not today anyway. :)

Curiosity. It’s not always deadly. There is a curiosity that leads to life. 

Like Ruthie wouldn’t it be thrilling for our morning routines to pique the curiosity of our family and friends, intriguing them enough they would examine the WORD of GOD for themselves? To peek in on what He has to say, to come closer to the Holy Scriptures and there learn they could have better than nine lives they can have Eternal Life trusting the One and Only Savior clearly revealed within the pages of Holy Writ? 

After Yeshua had said these things, he looked up toward heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you — 2 just as you gave him authority over all mankind, so that he might give eternal life to all those whom you have given him. 3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.

Well. That’s it. That’s what came to mind. Aren’t you glad I shared it with you? :)

Watch

A sure way to avoid trouble this week. 

23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
via Proverbs 21 KJV;CJB – The king’s heart is in the hand of the – Bible Gateway.

A watch on the mouth! 

Speaking of a watch, I got a new one this weekend. The size, the color, the price were all just right, so we brought it home. wpid-img_20140622_221256_489.jpgPerhaps as my arm sports my new timepiece this week, I will be reminded my mouth needs a watch too.   Yours too? :)

Blessings my Friends.
