part 2...
oh of course a spider story...... now how is it again that a great big spider can cling limpet like to the ceiling above my bed..... before i ponder this big amazing fact of life .... my initial thoughts of course are help this big spider is about to manage to fall on my bed and then what??? ghastly scenarios of fear.... only one of them being that i might accidentally kill it and wake up to squashed spider where has it been apart from tyhat!...... so i am hysterically thrown into prayer squalk squalk... there is no way that i can interfere in the immediate next point to all this since the ceiling is beyond sensible reach.... prayers more prayers.... i disappear off..... and forget about spider ... till a time later i am drawn back to the bed to find said spider in my bed... i have no panic and neither has the spider i fetch a see through container place it over the spider the spider climbs onto its wall and stays there the container is covered and taken to the window and with a prayer for it's welfare tap the container on the window sill anddd.... bon voyage... easy... i have engaged GOD's Assistance previously with this kind of situation and GOD is really good at calming all participants... at one point i am reminded to think about hey.... that removal of annoying persons .... the christian's perrogative..... apparently ... you know your church probs employs some sort of safetynet ... make the creepy thing feel that unwelcome and hope it will go away..... or even just get rid of the creepy thing..... the thing is there i was feeling quite smug about that i had sought GOD's Help and that GOD had somehow obliged... i mean shoudl i really object to house-sharing with a large spider or two? worshipping with a large spider or two ??? preaching the Gospel? the fact is i do not know how to it is so much easier to remove the beast with kindness and a Blessing send it on it's way to be dealt with elsewhere....
Now what would Jesus have done?
Do we need to know? the Door IS OPEN you know!
GOD BLESS!
Peace and Love
