Okay, so you probably are scratching your head saying “Repetition Pears?” If you aren’t in my inner circle of friends, then you probably think that I have went nuts! However in the early 20th century there was a brand of pears, oranges, apples called “Repetition…” For proof, one only has to go to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. When a good friend of mine and I see this sign we both put on our best British accents and say “Repetition Pears…Repetition Pears…”
Sometimes it feels as if our life is repetitious also. I know that I often feel as if God is pressing me to do something and when I put it off, He gets more aggressive in wanting me to do it, and when I finally do, I realize “WOW! Had I done this sooner, then I may have had peace sooner or an answer to something sooner.
My example is that one day I was looking at Kippah (Jewish Skull caps) and I found one that I really liked. God pressed upon my heart to study 1 Corinthians 11 and to read about how a woman dishonors her “Head” if she isn’t covered when she teaches or prays in public. The head of a woman is her husband, being that I am a single woman, I couldn’t see how God would want me to be covered??? Well I have studied Judaism for so long, that I actually have a Kippah and a prayer shawl…I went into my room, covered myself and prayed…I can’t begin to tell you the peace that I had. All God wanted me to do is to cover my head when I prayed, submitting to HIS authority. Since I covered my head, I have been able to possibly decide what to do with a situation I am facing.
I guess my point is that when life seems to be repeating itself or a bit repetitious, we must seek out the reason why it is…
