Friday Fictioneers: Digging For Water

Posted on by under The Stories

I was reading some of the entries for Friday Fictioneers this week as I am often wont to do and then on my way in to work this story came to mind.

Unblocking the Wells

by JE Lillie

“Oh Lord my back hurts.”

“You must master your body to make it your slave.”

“But why do I have to do this alone?”

“The harvest is great but the laborers are few.”

“I wish I had never even heard that missionary speak. Whatever possessed me to leave the comfort of my home to come to this God-forsaken place to dig a well?”

“I am here. I sent you, and I tell you anyone who offers one of these little ones a cup of cold water in my name will in no-wise lose their reward.”

You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar for my thirst. Psalm 69:19-21

How does God view your enemies?

Concord 1

You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar for my thirst. Psalm 69:19-21

Tell me how you overcome scorn, disgrace and shame.

If you were to pack a basket for picnic lunch, what would be in your basket?

Oh definitely fried chicken and some buttermilk buiscuits. I would have some fruit, some cake and lemonade.

On a vacation what you would require in any place that you sleep?

A bed, wifi access, breakfast, and a good tub.

If you were to buy a new house/apartment what is the top three items on your wish list?

Ready to move in. Good heat/insulation, nice grounds.

“If you read (the Bible) quickly it will benefit you little. You will be like a bee that merely skims the surface of the flower. Instead… you must become as the bee who penetrates into the depths of the flower. You must plunge within to remove its deepest nectar.” Madame Guyon

Here I go SHARING MY WORLD again.

Here are the weekly Share Your World questions and my thoughts on them. To see how others answered the same questions click the underlined link.

What household chore do you absolutely enjoy doing? (can be indoor or outdoor)

I really like putting away clean clothes.

Create a sentence with the words “neon green” and train”.

The neon green troll picked up the train and threw it into the ocean. But the Undine came and rescued all the passengers.

(Sorry I know that was two sentences but I couldn’t let all those poor commuters perish because I lacked the word space to save them.)

Other than your cell phone what can you always be found with?

My glasses. I have seven or eight pairs that I keep strategically placed throughout my life space so even if I forget my main pair I can still see. I may look weird but  at least I am not blind.
