DRENCHED IN BANANA

Heidi attends a Bible study on Tuesdays.  She has truly enjoyed her time there with the ladies and the boys have enjoyed their time playing with the other kids.  Some weeks, Heidi comes home for lunch and other weeks she packs a lunch and stays there to eat with everyone.

Today was one of those days that she stayed to eat.  She packed a fabulous lunch: BBQ pork sandwiches, Cheerios snack mix, apples, grapes, and carrots.  So I was surprised to hear that Caleb had banana on his clothes when they got home.  But what really surprised me was how Heidi said it…she said that Caleb was “drenched in banana.”  My response was, of course, “What?”—somewhat in disbelief and very confused.  How can someone be “drenched” in banana?  And yet, when I saw Caleb…he was drenched in banana.  It was all over him; there was no question that he had somewhere crossed paths with a banana…and the banana lost.

And that got me thinking…are we as obvious with our Christian walks?  And I’m not talking about being like the Pharisees and showing how “religious” we are; I’m talking about simply being so submerged in everything about God that it overflows from you just being you.  We should be someone who “thinks Kingdom, talks Kingdom, and acts Kingdom.”  That’s how we should live—as described in a book written by a good friend of mine.

So how do you walk your Christian walk?  Delicately with a fork and knife?  Carefully with a few fingers, so as to not get too much on you?  Or do you dive in with all that you have and become drenched?

Dive in!  You won’t get messy…but you will become drenched in the Holy Spirit.
