Polishing Silver

I discovered today what my favorite household task is:  polishing silver.  Does anything feel more productive than taking a blackish piece of metal and making it shine?  A little silver polish, a little rag, a little elbow grease, and poof, you've got yourself a new bowl or platter or tea set.  Just like magic. 




Now this would be the time when I might wax eloquent about how Jesus shines us up by His amazing grace, or how we pay the silversmith to make us idols that we fall down and worship, or how the words of the Lord are like silver, as it teaches us in Psalm 12.  In fact, the word silver is found 286 times in the ESV Bible. 


But I really just wanted to tell you about how much fun it is to polish silver.  And to find out what your favorite chore is.  (Please share with us by commenting below.)
