"Thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands into." - Deuteronomy 12:18
Lately, I've needed to add a few extra minutes at the end of every day. If only to get the last few tasks finished. Maybe I could borrow from the next day, but then I'd be cutting that day short. Seems like there's never enough time...always too much to get done...often feeling overwhelmed. One thing I'm never in short supply of...laundry that needs folded, bathrooms that need cleaned, beds that need made, groceries that need bought, and so on, and so on, and so on. But instead of complaining about the seemingly endless tasks I have in front of me every day, I guess I should try to find joy in each of them...realize the reason I have all of this "stuff" to do. If I look at my "to do list" with a positive attitude, a grateful attitude, I am reminded that each one is a result of a gift God has placed in my life...my children...my husband...my family...my home. I should be forever grateful for each task. The next time I'm tempted to complain about the mounds of "stuff" I have to get done...I should turn the murmuring into praise. God, thank you for giving me children to clean up after...a husband to pick up after...a family to keep in touch with...a home keep up on. I am a blessed woman.
