​Do You Have GAS?

by Kathy Lonsinger


"DO YOU HAVE GAS?"  

Yes, that's what he asked  me -- straight faced.

I know first hand how our intentions and our mouths sometimes don't play well together.
But have you noticed how everyday careless words can either crack you up or insult you? My daughter and I stopped at a convenience store to get a soda and the young man behind the counter looked at me and asked,
"DO YOU HAVE GAS?".
AWKWARD!
After a mutual little chuckle between my daughter and I, I looked right at him and responded,
"No, DO YOUR FEET STINK?"
He did not chuckle along with us!

I know sometimes my words can get rearranged from my brain to my mouth and really end up in someone's ears in apparently a new language. It can ~and does~ result in giggling, anger, hurt, embarrassment or sometimes deep resentment.

Father,
​ May you help us as we to try to let our brain and mouth work in unity a little more. You, Lord, have taught us words have meaning. You have assured us that gentle answers are important and -- at times -- quiet is the best response!

Proverbs 15:1 
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:2
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

Psalm 139:4
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.


Sure...Blame God for not Editing your words better...that's what I have done!

I sometimes think "if God knew I was going to say the wrong thing why didn't He stop me?" 

Guess I need to listen a little better to His prompting me to speak...or shut up! (Yes I know we don't say shut up at my house!)
So according to the above scripture:

1) Be gentle 2) don't gush 3) listen to your editor!

God sometimes cracks me up! Read some of the stories of talking animals, cows popping out of fires, paying your taxes from a fishes mouth and walls that fall if you shout at them! Then tell me God does not have a sense of humor!

Just listen through your day to some of the silly things people (including yourself) say.

​Do You Have Gas?

Just Thinkin'

If you don't think GOD has a sense of Humor...where have you been?

​Have you ever seen an Aardvark? How about a Platypus? Ever read about Balaam's talking Donkey? 

You can read the whole account in Numbers 22 in the Bible, but here's a priceless moment: 
Numbers 22:28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"
29 Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me!

Seriously, the donkey didn't MAKE a fool out of Balaam -- whose the one talkin' to a DONKEY?
