What's in your washer?

When I go to unload the washer and put the clothes in the washer, I usually end up finding stuff in the washer. Stuff that sometimes makes no sense to me. So let's take a look, shall we?


We've got a hot wheels car, a barrette ( I don't use barrettes anymore, but the boys sometimes use them as tweezers), some change, a Lego piece, some rocks, a shiny piece of rock better known as a piece of glass, a paper clip, some paper that became a ball, leftover wrappers of a band aid and there were more rocks and lots of sticks, but the boys found them and took them out. The pocket knives are no longer in that stuff either, those are used to dig holes in the back yard.
There are sometimes dollar bills in there, but I'm no dummy, those I hide and keep for myself.
I know that I should probably inspect the pockets before washing, but call me lazy. I've got lots of other things to do besides checking pockets. So I take everything that can not go in the dryer and put it in this little jar I have sitting on top of the dryer. I just continue to add to it until it gets full and then I empty it out.

So what gets washed in your washer?

Who keeps shutting my door?

"That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything."

Mark 11:24

When I pray, I usually pray in general. But God wants us to pray for specifics. It doesn't matter how small the thing is you are asking for, that is what he wants to hear.

Seven years ago, we bought a front load washer and dryer. They are wonderful. I especially like them because I can let my laundry pile up and then wash lots at one time.

When we first bought them, we lived in a house that had the laundry room as you walked in the garage door.

I noticed that the water would set on the back of the washer door. So I would leave the door open a little just so that the inside could get dry.

I just had ideas of mold and gunk hanging out inside my washer waiting to take over my already dirty clothes.

But as I would leave it open a little at night, by the morning the door was closed all the way.
Some little washer fairy would visit my house.

When we moved into a house that had it's own laundry room, I thought "Great, now I can leave the door open ALL the way and not have to worry about Loren shutting the door"

WRONG!!

I would open the door WIDE after washing and "someone" would shut it. I really thought I had left the washer fairy at the other house.

Just the other day he approached me and said he read or heard somewhere that we need to leave the door open to the washer because mold and stuff could "hang" out there.

HMMMMM!!!!

Then my friend was telling me that her husband had been getting headaches and sinus infections. This started about the time that they went to go "mud out" some houses when some towns flooded earlier this year.

Their shower had been leaking and there was mold growing behind the walls. She kept telling him to tear down the shower so that they could redo it, this would stop his headaches.

Months passed, he decided to go to a "specialist" because we wives are not "specialists".

What do you think the DR. told him? Yup, he's allergic to mold!

HMMMMM!!

Can anyone tell me the moral of these stories?

Anyone?
