A Plunger In An Outhouse

Image result for outhouse

When was the last time you saw a plunger in an outhouse?

People ask me where do I come with ideas to write about.  Life in my brain can be an adventure. Material comes to me at the weirdest times.

Tonight it comes while plunging the toilet.  I have a toilet that keeps giving me issues.  As I was plunging it the thought occurred to me that if this was an outhouse I would not be doing this.  No one has ever plunged an outhouse.  There are a lot of disadvantages to an outhouse, but clogging is not one of them.  The reverse is true as well.  I am plunging a toilet and I am thankful that I have a toilet to plunge, and I don't have to use an outhouse.

You can call it "seeing things through rose colored glasses" or "finding the silver lining".  You can say it is "Pollyanna."  I call it living in God's will.  1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 says "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

What clogged toilet like circumstances do you need to give thanks in?
