I spend my entire day looking for ways to scratch. You wouldn't believe the items I've found that can temporarily relieve my itching.
Brake pedals are great. While at a stop sign, place the souls of your feet on either corner of the pedal and scratch away.
Pill Bottles make good scratches. The bottom of them.
You know those foot rests found under desks? Turn it over and you have a variety of surfaces to scratch with.
Tongue Depressors work well and you can be discreet when scratching your back.
Credit cards, my ASH state badge, any plastic piece is great for scrapping off dead skin and relieves the itch... temporarily.
Our conference room at work has a great edge on one of the legs, but when I start rubbing my feet on it, it's a little, how do we say?, disconcerting to have all your co-workers turn and eye you.
Pens, letter openers, knives (the ones at fancy restaurants work best because they are heavier and longer), brushes, I've tried them all.
Does it do any good? Only when I'm scratching. As soon as I stop, then the itch comes back and sometimes, pain depending on what I grabbed!
It seems to me someone very wise once said:
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Or I like how The Message puts it...
33 Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
So, do you think maybe, just maybe, if I spent as much time seeking the Kingdom of God as I do seeking something to scratch with, my true itch would truly be satisfied?
