The Simple Godly Gift of Invention
I believe everyone has a “gift” given to them by God. Romans 12:6-8 simply tells us this, “God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out when you have faith that God is speaking through you. If your gift is that of serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching. If your gift is to encourage others, do it! If you have money, share it generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.” (Holy Bible ~ New Living Translation Version)
Now please note, this part is merely my opinion and I have no biblical backing for it, but in my humble opinion the creative gift of invention, some how has God written all over it. I mean it has to take a genius mind to come up with all the things we have the privilege of using today. Take for instance the featured item I have for you today. Believe me, the individual that came up with this contraption was a genius.

Baggie Rack ~ Hands free Clip Food Storage Baggie Holder
by casualKitchen
One Christmas, years ago, I held this bad boy in my hands. As I recall my response was somewhere along the lines of blank confusion. Not sure exactly what it was or why I needed it, the hubby perked up and offered an explanation and reasoning for the gift. “It’s a bag holder. Now you don’t have to hold the bag with one hand and spoon the leftovers with the other. This holds the bag for you. The bags are always falling over on you, so now you won’t make a mess!” He concluded with a big smile. “Oh, cool, Okay” was about all I could say.
So I should stop here and explain that the hubby has this knack of coming up with some unusual gift giving ideas. He has hit a home run with most of them, but there have been some not so hot items, too. However, kudos to him for this one because I cannot fathom how I managed as long as I did without it. He was right, trying to hold the storage bag with one hand and fill it with the other, was tricky, especially with liquid leftovers like soup. There were too many times I could have used another set of hands, especially when I needed to tilt the pot to get the last bit of food. Having to let go of the bag to tilt the pot allowed the bag the freedom of flimsiness resulting in a mess on the counter top.
This ingenious invention became my two extra hands and saved the day, and my counter top.
IT FOLDS
The two hands, if you will, fold down so it fits in your kitchen drawer.
IT EXTENDS
Will hold sandwich, quart and gallon sized food storage bags.
IT'S A BLESSING
Clips on each side securely hold any size bag wide open and in place giving you hands free flexibility.
You know you want one! 🙂

Ohhh my goodness!!! YES!!! I use this thing (actually I have four ????) ALL. THE. TIME. All the time! I use it mostly for meal prepping but It is so incredibly useful and every cook needs one stashed somewhere in their kitchen!
I agree. I only have the one, gonna have to get me some more. 🙂
Sooo many times I wish I had an extra pair of hands. Great invention!! Wish I had thought of it!
And now we do have this extra set of hands. Lol. Thanks to who ever had this ingenious idea.
You’re right, His gifts do come in such unique ways. Very clever idea.
This is so unique! I’ve never seen one before. What will someone think of next? Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
You are welcome. Course credit has to go to the hubby for finding it, but now I need to find more useful, unique and simple items.

Isn’t it?!?!? Best, simple invention so far. I need a few more.
I’ve never seen one of those before but now I want one! I hate doing that with the leftovers and always seem to make a mess.
You should get one!, but from me. LOL. It is such a life saver with the liquid leftovers, I tell ya. 🙂
I have never seen this gadget before. It really is neat and a blessing!
You have no idea the blessing it is. Lol. I had no idea it existed either until my hubby gave it to me.
