Clogged Pipes

"In everything, give thanks: For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

You know ladies, we can take alot for granted. I realized this for a whole week that my kitchen sink was clogged. Honestly, I am not being dramatic here. Think about your sinks--all of them. They usually function and life is nice. BUT when they clog up, it's usually a slow drain OR in my case, absolutely no drain at all.

I had to wash my dishes in the bathroom sink..(dont worry ladies, I sanitized with bleach so much that my neighbors smelled it!). Meanwhile I kept pouring down the Draino and nothing was happening. Finally, I had to make the "dreaded" call to the plumber. I say this because we all know this: they show up, they stick some long mechanishm down the drain and WALA the sink works. I am the type that likes to try every single remedy before I make that call. How about you? This is an actual photo of the feet of my plumber (to protect his identity LOL). He is A LIFESAVER !!! Come on ladies, clap with me--our sinks are IMPORTANT.

But one thing he said caught my attention: "Sink pipes are like arteries..they can get clogged up and then before you know it nothing flows through them." When I asked what could clog them up, he said any "junk going down." Hmmmmm. Sounded like the words of a devotional!!!

Dawn, our health coach, always says this before she eats something: "Will this clean me or will this CLOG me?" I have asked myself that question many times. Not saying I have it fully understood, but at least I ask.



I love Ring Dings. I think Ring Dings were made from a section of Heaven called Ring Ding Road filled with Ring Ding Angels singing the "Hallelujah" chorus while dipping cakes in chocolate... Eh hem..sorry, I got sidetracked. Dawn messed up my Ring Ding obsession. It's ok, I forgive her. I see how too much of a "good thing" is NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!

Ladies, we only have today. Let's simply bow our heads for one second..and give Him thanks. Let's give Him thanks that even though we know what to do, and we don't, He is still merciful..willing to give us yet ANOTHER chance to make it right. Thank GOD for JESUS!!

Lord Jesus, thank you that even though we have not always taken care of our temples, your mercies are still with us to see us through to healing. Today we pause to give you thanks: for our bodies, our lives, and of course, our sinks! Lord, help us to never take your blessings for granted!!Amen.

God bless us all today!
