From the Sublime to the Ridiculous

My husband makes these little clay people. They are very expressive at times. Most of them are curled up in what we see as an "attitude of prayer". It is amazing how he has been able to capture different emotions in some of these little guys. Recently, a man in our church asked David to choose a person to give to his father in memory of the loss of his mother. He said he wanted David's help because he believed that God had called him to this, given him a gift, and he was going to  "hold him to it" (or some sentence like that). I agree. David has a unique ability... he even shared how he went down into the basement to look for the "right" person and how he "just knew" which one when he saw it. I believe this is the Holy Spirit in the life of my husband. I know He has made David uniquely and this is one of the ways God uses him in this world. These times are when I believe heaven and the eternal "breaks through" and touches this earth and our experience here. However, there are times that his "ability" to see things borders on the "ridiculous". Over Christmas break David was making waffles. At the end when there was less batter a "drip" landed on the waffle maker and what resulted was a tiny malformed cross. We laughed and said it "was a sign". I think it is helpful to be able to laugh and not take yourself to seriously... but that little cross is still in the kitchen window... I wonder if there is no difference from God's view... the ridiculous and the sublime... only we get caught up in labeling experiences... rating them... makes me think of the biblical David's dancing in the streets "lightly clad".... his wife labelled that experience incorrectly. I am just wondering what He sees when he looks at my husband's saving a small malformed cross made of waffle batter? What does my husband's spirit look like to the eyes of my God? I think it must be beautiful in a way that can't be described by mere words.
