There is no hatred so bitter as that hatred born of a religious love;
no falsehood so vile as the lie spoken in defense of the truth;
no wrong so harmful as the wrong committed in the name of righteousness;
no injustice so terrible as the injustice of those who condemn in the name of the Saviour of the world.
--Harold Bell Wright
CLEANING HOUSES....can be a very interesting job! When I'm at home I clean our house in a whole day.The upstairs in the morning and the downstairs in the afternoon, but here, Shana and I can do a whole house in the morning, and another in the afternoon. (We're pretty amazing if I do say so myself...) I'm almost ready to collapse, and feel like I'm growing hair where there isn't supposed to be any hair!! The first house had a LONG haired dog, and the second house has two cats...so shaking rugs can become pretty interesting. You get engulfed in a cloud of floating hair...yuck.) I've become thankful that I'm not allergic to cats. If I were, I'd probably have hacked up a lung by now. The hair is amazing! I don't think I'm ever gonna have animals in my house...or baseboards either for that matter. I'd never heard of them till just lately, and they're such a pain! You gotta get down on your hands and knees and clean the awful things. And I need to introduce mops and brooms to the people up here. They wouldn't know a broom if it walked by them on the street. They vacuum everything in sight!! One lady wanted us to vacuum instead of dusting...but if you promise not to tell her, I'll admit that we dust the same way we dust in other houses...shhhh don't tell, k?
The weather up here is driving me crazy! You can't trust it for nothing. One day it's so sunny, you think you could almost fly, and the next it rains so hard and cold that it's HAIL! Rightnow the sun is shining, but I only look at it in frowning suspicion, cuz I know it could snow any minute. Well, maybe not. But you never know, with OH. There could be a hurricane right around the corner. So yeah. Enough whining. I'm actually pretty happy rightnow. If my head wouldn't be drooping so low because of how tired I am, things would be almost perfect. Now, if I were in Honduras right at this very moment, I couldn't want a single thing to be completely content. But that's how it always is. We say, "If only I had this one little thing more, I'd be perfectly happy..." but it's so not true. If I were in Honduras, I'd probably findsomething else to long for. I need to be content "in whatsoever state I am..." so I'll try. I have MUCH to be thankful for! I could go on and on, but I think I'll list only my three favorites at this minute. #1: I just had a wonderful experiencewith Jesus lastnight. I poured out my heart in completely honesty, and He accepted it like he always does...even thoughit's so rotten...anyway, summed up in one word, it would be FREEDOM!! #2: I have the most wonderful friends God has ever blessed anyone with! I'm so thankful for friends rightnow. #3: The sun is shining! I don't know how long it'll last, but for now, it's kissing my face with its happy rays, and for that I am grateful. Ok. I'm done rambling for now...
