Hi Everyone,Proverbs 10:4 says, "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth."
Okay, first a little background information - we can only use our washer and dryer when we have electricity and much of our electricity comes during the middle of the night and it might just stop right in the middle of the washing process. When that happens, we have a clothesline strung across our bedroom (it was either there or the living room) between the two opposite windows and we hang our wash and just walk around the clothes. It may not be the best solution, but it works! One of our guards, Atukum, is a really nice young man. This past weekend he went home to his village and when he returned on Sunday afternoon he began washing his clothes and hanging them out. How many other 20 year old young men do you know that do their own wash using a bucket and a clothesline? This is the norm for him - think about that!!
Now the two pictures below speak directly to the Scripture in Psalm 128:2 that says, "You will eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours."

For those who know me very well, you know that I very seldom make from scratch yeast baked goods. The thought of letting the dough rise, then punching it down and repeating the process several times - it's just too time consuming for me. But.....Monday morning, I just had the urge to do it anyway. I did ministry in the morning and just wanted to spend some kitchen time creating something. Crist and I LOVE any kind of yeast products. So you see the unfinished cinnamon rolls on the left and the finished product to the right. Were they ever good - YUMMY!
We put several in the little freezer section of our refrigerator for future consumption. I have to admit, there's just something about using your hands to make a delicious baked good that is very fulfilling. I used every pot, pan, spoon and utensil we have to do it but it was worth it!
Maybe I won't wait another five years till I do it again. Grin
In Joy,
Eileen and Crist
I bet if Crist has any say in the rolls, it will not take 5 years.
ReplyDeleteDonna and I's house looks like yours on wash day sometimes too.
Ya'll (probably ain't heard that word much) are doing a really great job keeping us informed and the pictures are superb. Thank you for bringing Jos to us!
