Griping about the dirty kitchen is taking time away from loving my family, and from being grateful to God that I have them.

I despair sometimes of picking up my husband's clothes. He is retired now; why can't he pick up his own things! I remind myself that it was I who spoiled him when he was working by doing these chores for him. I try to be thankful that he is still with me and not deceased, as some other's husbands that I know of.

I am particularly weary of all there is to be done today. Thank you for reminding me to be thankful in everything.<br /><br />"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thess. 5:18You Can Call Me Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086179213614605103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065523489084216043.post-22983797767527258332011-08-08T09:52:04.819-07:002011-08-08T09:52:04.819-07:00Before enlightenment, chopping wood, carrying wate...Before enlightenment, chopping wood, carrying water. After enlightenment, chopping wood, carrying water. (Buddhist proverb)<br /><br />There is a sacredness in the mundane. If you allow it to be, routine becomes meditation. It just takes some reframing. <br /><br />One of the ways you serve the greater good is in ministering to the needs of others. Sometimes "the others" are your family members. Mistering is the way you give back to people who bless your life in ways big and small every day. We just forget this sometimes because it can feel like invisable work. In truth, it's not invisable at all. The all knowing sees you.<br /><br />*hugs*Lelainia N. Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00228481683210538614noreply@blogger.com
