I decided to wash Nancy's car today, because it was SO WARM (About 48 degrees, which compared to the last couple of weeks is REALLY WARM!). I had never washed a car at my house in January before. I had some pleasant surprises:
- No bugs to wash off the grill and hood!
- No tar to wash off the bottom of the car!
- I didn't get sunburned or too hot!
- The car looked AMAZINGLY better, because it started out so dirty!
- The snow melted in the driveway where I washed the car!
Some of you know that Friday is my Sabbath and you're thinking, "Washing a car doesn't sound like a Sabbath activity." Not making excuses here, but it was NANCY'S car, so I was serving my wife, and the activity was OUTDOORS, where I got to enjoy God's creation and the warm sunshine, AND the activity was satisfying, because unlike ministry which often has no observable "win" in the moment, when the car was washed it was OBSERVABLY better than it was before I started. After all, the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath! I hope you had the opportunity to enjoy the warm weather, too.
People don't get to enjoy the outdoors like they used. god bless you for appreciating the good stuff (and taking care of ur wife)
