Return to Kingdom Refrigerator - the side by side allegory

Last time we left our faithful Knight in skirts...... she had conquered the Dragon of Slouthfulness and deeply wounded him. Faithfully following the King"s proclamation found in Titus 2:5 , she humbly summited herself to the King's edict and slew that dragon far away from the land. (Read more about it Here.)

Since then, the Land of Refrigerator shined with the glow of cleanliness (at least for a time), leaving our knight wondering if trouble was brewing deep within the land's borders. Knight Linda didn't fear cleaning up the small blots that sometimes crept up here and there. Sometimes the citizens of that land would carelessly make crumbs that would leave you wanting the shine back, but it was nothing that couldn't be dealt with easily. Our brave knight could handle this job.

Our story takes a twist though, when the borders of Kingdom Refrigerator were enlarged. Now what would take our Lady Knight one hour to battle, took two or three! It may not have taken her so much time, but the new borders needed to be completely inspected and thoroughly battled over. New additions to the land had to be cleaned up, and Knight Linda wondered when she would finally finish her task. Thankfully the King knew her situation and sent a very good esquire who had joined her company for almost five years now. This esquire faithfully followed the Knight's requests and dried all the washed up properties with great care and enthusiasm. She knew that without the esquire's help her duties could have taken longer and would have lacked the sweet company needed for Lady Knights all around. The true saying, "To whom much is given, much is required," rang in the back of our dear Knight's mind. Thankful for her new addition, she hoped to be faithful to her King and a good steward to the land. She knew those dragons would come lurking again, but she was not alone. Oh no, she was not alone.

The End

So there you have it. We now have a side by side refrigerator and a little more work. I couldn't have asked for a better 5yr. helper though. :o)
