Back in the 60s people ironed everything. Nearly every household had a blue plastic bottle with white lettering on the sides. It had a screw-on lid with dozens of holes scattered on top. The sole purpose of this bottle was to sprinkle.
•If you sprinkled a cotton blouse before you ironed it the wrinkles came out easier. Before percale sheets were around, everyone had white cotton pillowcases. Most were embroidered with darling little girls holding umbrellas, or detailed flowering, but they all required ironing.
•I was lucky enough to have pillowcase duty. My Mother taught me to sprinkle the entire basket, then pull them out one by one. The cases on the bottom were the easiest to iron because the water saturated the fiber and the wrinkles nearly melted away.
•That was a long time ago. Today the majority of sheets are percale and/or people toss them in the dryer and take them out immediately so they don't wrinkle.
•I still remember that little blue bottle, and when I iron and have a tough spot, I sprinkle a few drops of water on the garment and presto ? the wrinkles disappear.
•During difficult times, God sprinkles drops of joy on us to help get through.
It may be a bouquet of flowers, so beautiful and fragrant that the very air in the room changes by their presence.
•It could be in a child's smile, so pure, so sweet, so natural. Or in the little hands that touch your face in a gentle caress.
•The magnificent sunrise with its purple, pink and orange sky bringing your thoughts away from your troubles only to bask in its beauty.
•Or the little puppy yipping at your feet, happy to see you after a long hard day at the office.
•God has a special way of sprinkling our lives with joy, just when we need it ? and in gentle, perfect ways, rejuvenating us and giving us strength to make it through one more day.
•Sprinkles of joy. From a Father who loves us dearly. Oh, what bliss.
