Waller Spot

Raise your hand if you know what a hog waller is.  If you know, you may not want to admit it!  Growing up, the family clothes line was right next to the hog’s favorite place to waller.  Believe-you-me, those clothes pins were put to good use -- PU!

 

Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”  What does it mean to “abound” in hope?  In the Greek, to abound is to overflow or to be beyond measure.  While the hogs were stinkin' up the place, they were having big fun!  The mud, nor the odor, seemed to bother them – they didn’t appear to have a care in the world.  Think about all those little gnatty-things things that send and keep us in life’s irritation-zone, and imagine actually living above and beyond them.  Christ came to give us joy and peace and in abundance, and it is by the power of the Holy Spirit we have and hope in Christ Jesus.  We’re not talking an itsy-bitsy bit but rather and abounding amount of Hope.  My mind envisions more than enough to waller in ... without the smell!  Find your waller spot in Christ, and enjoy Him forever!
