Falling in Love at the Sink
Falling in Love at the Sink There is, I have concluded, a direct correlation between preparing food in the kitchen and the number of dirty dishes in the sink. Eager eaters are never in short supply, yet then another correlation becomes apparent. Just as there is a direct correlation between the number of dirty dishes in the sink, there is an inversely correlated number of eaters who are eager to wage the sink waters. This could be annoying if it were not for falling in love at the sink.
Is it fair to be left to both cook a meal and then still wash the dirty dishes? Who cares? It is an opportunity to fall in love! Every knife, fork, spoon, plate or cup, passes through hands that are actively loving, regardless of the justice or injustice of the task. How Christ exemplified this in doing everything for me, even while I was actively rebelling against Him (Romans 5:6). What a joy to love deliberately with my hands in the water; falling in love, not only with those I serve, but with the One who served me.
