The more impossible the situation, the greater God accomplishes His work.

From Matthew 19:26:  “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.'”

Monday Memories: Flying Coach

Photo by Jason Toevs on Pexels.com

Elizabeth is flying in coach seating on her way to Minnesota.  She occupies the window seat, and a quiet gentleman has been sleeping in the aisle seat.

The flight attendant offers her refreshment and a snack.  She selects a diet Coke and a bag of peanuts.  The attendant graciously leaves her the entire can.

As the plane nears its destination, Elizabeth begins to clean up her tray table.  There is a little bit of Coke left in the can, and she pushes her empty peanut bag inside of it.

WARNING!

KIDS DON’T TRY THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!

Inside of the can, a surprise chemical reaction is taking place as the salt in the peanut bag mixes with the Coke.

Without warning, Elizabeth experiences Mount Vesuvius at 30,000 feet.  Her little napkin is all she has to snuff out the volcano before disaster covers her lap. 

What will she do?

Glancing to her right, she spies a blanket covering the sleeping gentleman.
