A NEW NAME
Someone
has come up with the following list of words which don't exist, but
should:
AQUADEXTROUS
(ak wa deks' trus) adj. Possessing the ability to turn the bathtub
faucet on and off with your toes.
CARPERPETUATION
(kar' pur pet u a shun) n. The act, when vacuuming, of running over a
string or a piece of lint at least a dozen times, reaching over and
picking it up, examining it, then putting it back down to give the
vacuum one more chance.
DISCONFECT
(dis kon fekt') v. To sterilize the piece of candy you dropped on the
floor by blowing on it, assuming this will somehow 'remove' all the
germs.
LACTOMANGULATION
(lak' to man gyu lay' shun) n. Manhandling the "open here"
spout on a milk container so badly that one has to resort to the
'illegal' side.
PEPPIER
(pehp ee ay') n. The waiter at a fancy restaurant whose sole purpose
seems to be walking around asking diners if they want ground pepper.
PHONESIA
(fo nee' zhuh) n. The affliction of dialing a phone number and
forgetting whom you were calling just as they answer.
PUPKUS
(pup' kus) n. The moist residue left on a window after a dog presses
its nose to it.
TELECRASTINATION
(tel e kras tin ay' shun) n. The act of always letting the phone ring
at least twice before you pick it up, even when you're only six inches
away.
Some
of those words could possibly be useful, but there is another word
which doesn't yet exist that I'm even more excited about. Jesus
wrote to the church in Pergamos (one of the seven churches of Asia
Minor):
"He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To
him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I
will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which
no one knows except him who receives it."
(Rev. 2:17)
What
will that new name be? We can only speculate. All I know
is that it is a word reserved for God's children who faithfully
persevere the trials that this life has to offer. Eternal
fellowship with God and His family, the tree of life, worship with the
redeemed of all ages, AND a new name to go with your new life!
What more could we ask? What more could we want? There are
wonderful things that lie ahead for God's children. Keep that in
mind the next time you are struggling to get through the difficulties
that this life has brought your way.
Have
a great day!
