Awww dear Sibling! What an awesome analogy. Sooo proud of how you are graciously wearing your testimony! Yes we do need the heat in our lives to straighten those wrinkles...LOL some of us take our clothes to the dry cleaners... There is this form of heat aka Discipline. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produced a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11

Thank you, Ben. So good meeting you on Clubhouse and listening to the wisdom you shared. I’ve learned to cherish those who enjoy ironing, almost as much as those who enjoy matching socks after laundry, ha! Thank you for listening.

Now I know why you hate irons. But without them, we'd be all wrinkles! Great talk, Em!

Thank you for this well delivered speech.🙏 It's indeed true that no man is an Island. We need a strong support base. It's also important to learn from our 'wrinkles', even while the heat of the iron is being applied. It's funny you mentioned the hairdresser because I have that relationship with mine. 🤣

Your iron should have just told you to buy an ironing board and be more patient. You only really need to buy it once, occasionally you might need to replace the cover. Also then the board and the iron will have its place (organised) and the ironing process will have its spot.
