A bucket full of hope

Chapter 2

Good Monday Morning to this week 2 of 2022

Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond, many ponds make a lake, and many lakes make an ocean. Percy Ross

When your neighbor’s house is on fire, you should help with a bucket of water. Yahya Jammeh

But your many foes will be like a drop in a bucket. Isaiah

Sir,” said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’? St. John

I was looking through old pictures of our family and found one of myself, I must have been about a year old, holding a bucket in one hand and a spade in another.

Isn’t it funny how some things constantly change and others remain the same. I was born in Asia – lot’s of buckets there. At home I have buckets for washing things, fixing bikes, carrying apples. The basins we use to plant tomatoes now …. When I travel to Africa, there are lots of basins and buckets there. One of the first bathes a child gets, is in a bassin. Somehow, probably all of us would say, yes we’ve had a bucket or two in our lives!

Many drops in a bucket … comes from the filling of a bucket. We could turn it around, remember the bucket showers? Punch a few holes into the bottom of aluminum bucket, hang it up, put it on a stand, or even better, get a pully and make a decent shower with it.
if done well, the water would trickel out slowly ..

Let’s get our buckets filled to the brim again, gather many more good things and share them drop by drop with all we’ve gathered.

Wishing a great start to this week!

Philemon
