The Crucial Piece!

I love juicing.  There is something cathartic about watching fruits and vegetables be pushed into the jucing chamber and out comes some fabulous juice.  I love it so much that I juice every other day.  Some days it is a combination of tomato, apple, spinach, carrots and pineapple.  Other days I load up on lots of veggies and only a few fruits.  Needless to say I love it.  More than that, I think I am a little bit addicted to it.

This morning I went out to juice, placed a zucchini into the chamber and pushed the button. Nothing happened.  It must be the plug I thought.I tried another and still I never heard the whizzing sound that I have grown so accustomed to.  I did what many wives do in times like these. "Kevin, can you come help me?" Sure enough he was able to make it work, kinda! As we watched with anticipation, the motor was working and everything seemed fine except that instead of the the juice coming out of the spout it was coing out of all of the seems.  "What's happening I shrieked"!

Kevin had a stroke of Genius and asked if we had all of the pieces to the juicer.  Sure enough an important piece was still sitting in the sink.  Once we placed this crucial piece into the juicer, all was right in the world!  I had my juice. Yummy!

How many times do I try and do things with out the crucial piece to my life?  How many times do I leave home without Him?  I am so grateful that God speaks to me in the small things like a juicer. 

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17

Father, thank you for using the juicer to remind me to always include you, think of you, be with you. You made me to work only with you!
