Not feeling well, I lay on my sofa and heard the sound of the washer going through the . . .
spin cycle in the basement. It took me back to the days of raising three young children. The wringer washer did not do its own thing. Wash day was an all day event. And winter was interesting. Without a dryer, the clothes would freeze on the line and had they been able, they would have walked in on their own they were so stiff.
Just in my lifetime, I have seen so many changes it is hard to fathom that it is the same world. Cell phones, internet, microwaves. We have certainly moved forward, yet with all our improvements people still struggle with trusting, believing, loving and the reason for suffering. Only God has not changed. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, a very present help in trouble.
