Dirty Bunny

Bunny has learned a new trick. She loves to dig. She's not trying escape or find food. She's just gettin' in that dirt and digging.

Bunny kind of inspired me today to do a bit of digging in the dirt too. I just reached in with my little hand, to discover what could possibly be making the strange noise that I've heard for months in the depths of my.....garbage disposal!!! Yucky, yucky gunk.

I have no idea what the grayish lumps of crud were but I cleaned 'em out!

I really shouldn't compare the dirt that bunny digs in with the filth of my garbage disposal, which by the way is also used by the 5 guys I live with:)

On the kibbutz years ago, my kibbutznik boss lectured me for calling the earth we were digging in 'dirt.'

"This is not 'dirt.' Yael said. "This is soil, 'Adama' what Adam was made of and we cherish it because of the crops we can grow in it."

Yael is right 'adama', or soil is not the same as dirt or crud!

God sees the difference too.

Ps. 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust.

We're this wonderful soil just waiting to grow His seeds of compassion.

Of course, that doesn't mean that there's not some yucky dirt in our lives that needs to be cleaned out.

Ps. 51:1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

His great compassion washing, cleansing that we could grow His seeds of Love. Let's spend some time with this Loving Father today and let Him work in us.
