G O WINDEX by Margaret Walser As I awoke, sun rays filtered through and between the dirt splotched on the bedroom window, creating an abstract design on the back of my favorite second-hand chair. I entered the bathroom and found pok-a-dot designs on the walls and floor tile again created by sun and dirty window. My Windex bottle and I spend an hour together. The solution and dirt met and dissolved into a murky substance on my paper towel. I was awed by the transformation of my surroundings. A remaining undried corner of the window acted as a prism and rainbow colors danced off the pane to find delight in the eyes of the towel holder. The rooms took on a fresh appearance. My mind reflected briefly on my life and I thought my troubles and anger are as dirt splotches and God is my Windex. Turning my cares completely over to God, He became the Windex (the solution) of my dirty windows. I viewed the soiled stained towel and smiled as I disposed of it. The windows were sparkling and bright, defying any dirt to find home on their surface. We need only to ask God to be our Windex. Our smiles of relief can act as our armor to ward off recurring cares, confident in the fact that as they surely will return, we need only to reach for our Windex God to dissolve them again. |
