BFS #121 – Obey Your Thirst (Sprite)

Memory Verse: Psalm 69:21 They put poison in my food; in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

Introduction: Obey Your Thirst (Sprite) In this Psalm, terrible things are plaguing David. He’s seeking the Lord, as he has that sinking feeling, that desperate thing of alienation and abandonment… and they try to poison him and give him vinegar – GROSS! How Vile! Sometimes when we’re sick, we have that sinking desperate feeling, we call out to God, we call out for healing.

Assignment: Tell us the most vile “remedy” you’ve ever had to consume in order to be rid of that “plague”.  Was it something prescribed by a Medical Doctor? or was it an herbal remedy? We all know that Buckley’s commercial, it tastes awful, but it works.  Would you take this remedy again?  Did it work? Can you get your children to take it?

Oh Ladies, I’d love to see you in a photograph making that sourest of faces,  – remember that remedy and remake that face.. or get your kids to make that face with you.. can you do it without laughing?  Laughter makes the best medicine.

For this week’s assignment I thought I’d share what I’ve been using for my yucky remedies.  I have bronchitis that flares up during the winter and I used to just cough and cough without anything for it.  Now, I take a swig (drink) of honey and it knocks the cough right out!  I don’t like the taste of honey at all!!!  What I hate worse is using the camphor for a cold sore that I just recently gotten on my lower lip!  Here is my horrible face of that.

And it truly tastes horrible!!!  Have a blessed day!
