Tuesday's Epiphany

Yesterday I spent more time packing, trying to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit - I packed a box of kitchen non-essentials. I have decluttered the kitchen fairly recently, so was pretty amazed I could pack a whole box of stuff that we don't need. Who needs a hamburger patty maker when you have two hands? A powdered sugar shaker when you have a spoon or fingers or a sifter?

The real epiphany came, however, when I looked at my two ladles. We have soup a lot, and so I always kept the extra (which had come with our new, larger crock pot), in case the first one was dirty. When telling this in the evening to St. DH, we both exclaimed aloud at the same time, "If the one was dirty, we COULD JUST WASH IT!"

Duh.
