Look again...
Look past all the flowers......
It is around the tub and ferns...
~~~~~~~~~
Actually it is in the tub.....
Do you see it now?
~
Can you see all the white on top of the tub?
It looks like a cloud......
~~~~
~~~~
Yes, my tub over-flows with bubbles...
Tons of silky..
light as air...
sparkly, shiny bubbles.....
I do believe this little rusty guy looks guilty...
~~
~~
He looks as if he just dumped bubble bath in my fountain...
Look close...
I think he is smiling....
and
possibly singing...
and
possibly singing...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would have to admit when My Grandson came running in shouting..
"Nana,come look at the tub!"...
I did not know what to expect...
I thought...
Oh, no....
It has run dry....
Instead.....
~~~~
"it is overflowing with bubbles!"
The last thing I expected to see after adding bleach earlier
to keep my water clear
to keep my water clear
was bubbles....
I mean after all,
since when did bleach....
which is supposed to sanitize....
purify...
cleanse...
cause bubbles?
I will have to admit...
the bubbles attracted us to the tub in a new way...
Oh, we enjoy the sound of the water coming through the old well faucet..
But Today...
we enjoyed the bubbles...
And so it goes with each of our lives as a believer....
Jesus comes in and washes away our sins...
cleanses us...
makes us whole...
And in return....
Our life is to be like bubbles....
overflowing...
touching others....
~~
This reminds me of an old hymn.....
Its bubbling, Its Bubbling
Its bubbling in my soul
There's singing and laughter
since Jesus made me whole..
Folks don't understand it...
Nor can I keep it Quiet
Its bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling
bubbling day and night!......
~~

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, love the bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are a grandma Patty, from your picture! How much fun for you and your grandson! What a blessing when the joy of the Lord bubbles up through us.
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun --- an unexpected delight! Our Heavenly Daddy loves to treat us to things like that. I can just hear Him laughing with joy. He sings and dances over us, and I'm sure He laughs with us, too.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post. Sending blessings from here on the farm.
that places with your eyes. so wild. if you do not have a lot of neighbors i guess you could take a bath out there. there is a show i use to watch on Netflix - it was set in Australia & they had a tub out in the cow field & the ladies would take a bath out there when it was a gorgeous night. i bet it would heaven. so relaxing. ( :
ReplyDeleteMy mama taught me that song:) I love the idea of the bleach and the bubbles. What a parable! Love it! You are always such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh Patty, your post was just precious! Your words and photos blessed my heart, dear friend. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings!
A beautiful post Patty and I love the tub and bubbles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful analogy. I love it! Did grandson confess?lol Or was it the bleach? Loved this post and my visit. You have the most gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a precious post! Love the bubbles and I love the old hymn, Let Others See Jesus In You.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Gosia. I know she is thrilled that you commented. Mildred
Oh what a sweet post. What beautiful words to come from such a funny situation. I love the faucet and the poor little man that go accused. That really was a lot of bubbles. I am glad it didn't overflow. Thanks for sharing the beautiful analogy so smart to think of how we should overflow with bubbles. This was great. I have enjoyed my visit. I'll look for your follow button.
ReplyDeleteOh your flowers are beautiful too!

Hi Patty! I have missed your sweet posts! I love this one! And I love your old claw-foot tub with the old water pump. I discovered the new "splashless" bleach will make bubbles. It does seem quite odd. LOL! ~~~I'm Carolyn from the old blog Simple Southern Cottage. I can no longer access my old blogs and Blogger will not help me whatsoever. And it's all because of issues between Google/Blogger and Yahoo. I finally just gave up and started a new blog. I am in the process of moving old posts to my new one. I hope you will visit me . myfarmhouseblue.wordpress.com

ReplyDeleteWe used to sing, "My cup's full and running over".
ReplyDeleteThat's a magnificent rusty tub.
Hi Patty, this is just beautiful. Love the tub of bubbles and the lesson you share with it touches my heart. I'll be singing that little hymn now the rest of the night. LOL
