Smelly fridge by Bruce Wadd
Our future son-in-law moved in with us recently, and with him came more ‘stuff’ than we realized. With the gear taking up one car space in our garage we noted the fridge.
Fast forward six weeks, and the smell from the garage was increasingly offensive. So for the first day of his holidays, his task was set – to clean out the fridge!
“That’s your job,” the rest of the family said, as they disappeared backwards out the door holding their noses.
Did you know that being religious is equally offensive to God? I need to be very careful here, but I can’t help hearing Jesus and what he thought. I wonder how this fits into your world.
“‘Watch out!” Jesus warned them: “beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ ” Matthew 16:6 If you opened up your life today, would it be smelly? Would it be offensive to God? Or would it be clean and sparkling with the awesome love of Jesus?

“Luke,
is that empty?” my wife enquired on the day of the big move. “It’s only got
little bits and pieces in it. I’ll take care of it.”
If
I hadn’t seen or smelt it I wouldn’t have believed what happened next! Upon
opening the door maggots, grubs and other creepy aliens were found inside
the unit. But even more confronting was the smell. It was putrid, to the
point of gagging!
