The Saturday Night Bath

Matthew 9:37-38  He said to his disciples, “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few.  So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fields.”

At the first meeting with the anesthesiologist the nurse said to take a nice long shower because you won’t be able to take one for a while.  A week and a day later I decided I could probably take a bath if I was careful not to get my face wet.  Shhhh don’t tell the nurse or the doc.

I threw another log on the fire, put a kettle of water on the stove and filled the tub with nice hot water.  It brought back memories of my childhood days and working in the potato fields all day.  Especially on a fall Saturday night during harvest.  We would have been on the harvester or in the potato house and stopped early because it was payday.  After having supper, getting a bath and check in hand, we would go to town and to the bank to cash the check.  Then off to all the shops to see what new clothes to get for school or park on Main Street and people watch.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11  Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.  You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

It was time for me to change the bandages myself.  Here’s a before selfie.

It was almost like making a patchwork quilt.  Cutting fabric bandages the right length, getting the placement right and not even obsessing over being an 1/8″ off.  I think I did alright.

I was ready for another day in the field.
