I hope you are reading this early in the morning, because it is important that you celebrate this wacky holiday for the WHOLE DAY. It is NO Dirty Dishes Day! So from breakfast through bedtime snack we are not going to use any dishes that need to be washed. I think there is three ways to accomplish this. Eat at fast food or a restaurant for every meal (not likely to happen), use disposable dishes all day, or eat food that doesn't need dishes. Probably the last option is maybe the best. Let's come up with a list of things that we can have that don't need a dish. How about toast for breakfast (but you can't use a knife for the peanut butter unless you have a disposable one). For lunch you could have a hot dog that you warm up in the microwave on a paper towel. Supper looks like it has to be something you cook in the microwave on a paper plate like chicken nuggets. Use the same plate for your ranch dressing. Remember that your drinks can't use a glass either. No silverware, no plates, no glasses, and no pots and pans. It might be pretty hard, but with some creative thinking you can do it!! So why it important to celebrate this wacky holiday today? It might help you to creatively think about all that you eat and drink today. Have you ever thought about how many dirty dishes are created every day at your house? I bet your mom has! Today I want you to think about it, and then remember that we never have to worry about what we are going to eat or drink or wear or where the money is going to come from to pay for all of it. The Bible says in Philippians 4:19 "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." That means that as rich as Jesus is, that is where He is going to get everything you need. Think about that today, and then tomorrow maybe you want to promise to help your mom with the dishes!
