….Speaking of “reality”, I had one of those little metal signs in my laundry area that said, “Do not adjust your attitude. The problem is with reality.” It made me laugh and yet, at the same time seemed to express the truth of the fact of the brokenness of the world and encouragement to hold onto my hope that it will be fixed someday. Apparently, it made someone else laugh, too, as it was stolen right off the wall sometime during the renovation of our home. I didn’t miss it for a long time since it was part of a larger collage. Then one day as I was doing laundry I looked at that wall and realized it was missing. It did make me wander what all else was missing from my home that I had not yet missed.

The little sign I missed in 2017 had hung be the back door in the garage, next to my laundry area. I made me smile and I missed it. As God would have it, it surprisingly appeared behind the washing machine when I moved last February and the washer and dryer were moved. How it went from the door wall to the floor behind the washer about 6 feet away on another wall, I can’t imagine. But I am glad to have it back in my new home….. right by the back door again!
