Have You Ever Tried To…

Original post 7/21/2014

Get a few more minutes of snuggle time with your spouse before you have to hit the day running?

Take a bath in a freezing bathroom?

Take a bucket bath?

Use a deep drop toilet with only half a door for privacy?

Read your Bible at 6:00 in the morning…without coffee?

Sit through a four-hour meeting without going to the bathroom? I couldn’t do it either!

Learn to speak a foreign language?

Mix cake batter without a mixer?

Make coffee in a French Press?

Make homemade creamer?

Have a “disagreement” with your spouse, over something petty, while living in a community where there is always someone around? 

Shut the blinds so that you can cry without anyone seeing?

Drive a truck full of food to a feeding program?

Play leap frog with children that have absolutely no clue what you’re doing, don’t speak your language, and, once they catch on, giggle uncontrollably?

Tell a story about Jesus, using people, pretending to be flowers, birds, bears, rabbits, and monkeys?

Hug a child with a handicap and wish you could take it away?

See a plate of pap (pronounced pop and very similar to grits) and beans and wonder why there isn’t more?

Being a missionary?

Welcome to my day!
