unknownfateThe aloe vera plant.
What a wonderful thing that plant is. I burned the bejabbers out of my finger last night. I'll spare you the details. Just know that there is a large and deceptive oven mitt in the kitchen trash can even now.
Long story short, I spent most of the night with my hand in a glass of ice water watching the blister turn white and puffy. My Dad came home, took a look, and marched right back out into -40 windchill to go get me some aloe vera gel.
It worked beautifully. And I was sitting there, rubbing the stuff as gently as I could onto the blisters, feeling the pain fade, and thanking God for blessing humanity with such a plant, and thanking my Dad for trekking through the snow and ice to find some for me, and I had this mental picture of an angel reporting to God.
Angel: Allmighty! They've discovered fire!
God: THOSE POOR NINNIES ARE GOING TO BURN THE CRAP OUT OF THEMSELVES... START PLANTING ALOE VERA SEEDS EVERYWHERE BEFORE ANYBODY GETS HURT.
Angel: Roger that!
Kinda funny that God talks like my Grandma, huh?
