As missionaries we get a day off from our usual routine of spreading The Gospel, this is called our preparation day! On one of our P-Days we decided that we wanted to make some sweet tie dye shirts. We went to the Wal-Mart there in Franklin, and got our supplies. Well if you know the process of making a tie-dye shirt, you know it’s VERY messy! So first of all you take your article of clothing and fold it. Next you have to soak the shirts (or whatever you’re dying) in a solution for 5-15 minutes. After you do this, then comes the fun! You’re instructed to “MAKE A MESS”! haha SO you pour on as much dye as you want. Usually the more dye, the cooler the shirt! After that you have to let it sit for a while, and then you wash it. (Washing it takes forever!! Thanks Sister Austin & Winder!!) :) The shirt is beautiful now and you get to enjoy!
So you’re probably wondering why I’m even bringing this up. I was thinking about it this morning and tie-dye is so much like life! How do you think it compares??? :) I need your response!
Well, I think life is hard. While washing those shirts out, it was hard and annoying, but worth it. Life is hard, it's annoying, it's tedious sometimes, but when you put your best work into it, it's so worth it! And we have the Savior to help us "do our laundry".
ReplyDeleteIf we every feel like our life is hard or a "mess" we have to look at the big picture and the master artist Christ, and that when Hes done, your a sweet awesome "totally righteous man!" tie-dye shirt and one of a kind hand made piece of art.
