Squeaks

I am inundated with piles of laundry. If I had a laundry room, this would not be a major problem because no one would ever see the clothes. But in my little house, my laundry area is in my kitchen, so I can't help but stumble over the clothes. Why don't I just do a couple of loads to solve the problem? My dryer is being worked on.

For the last few months the dryer drum has been squeaking a bit at the start of the drying process. Those squeaks turned into major screeches over the weekend, with the sounds not going away even after a few minutes. My husband had been promising to look at it, but hadn't made the time. With all the high pitched sounds going on, he didn't have much choice.

We hope the problem is in the glides, the felt part that the drum sits on at the top of the door. We had a problem with squeaking before, and that fixed it then, so we are assuming this is the case. We'll find out after the glue dries.

Squeaks, squeals and screeches are obvious signs of trouble. If we had failed to address the problem, the damage could have been costly and perhaps unrepairable.

Sometimes we have difficulties in our spiritual life. Perhaps we have traveled a bit off the road God wants us walking on, and we develop habits that are not healthy. The Holy Spirit calls out to us, but we fail or refuse to listen. Our soul recognizes there is a problem that only the healing powers of Jesus can mend. Our life becomes "squeaky," not in the terms of noise, but because deep down we know we aren't living the right way.

Jesus is the most perfect repair man. He can take a squeaky, broken down individual and bring him/her back to working order in no time. He can give hope and renewal, and He can bring peace.

Do you have some warning noises in your life that need fixing? Call on Jesus. He's available 24/7.
