Blessing to Serve

"When Christ is at the center, when dishes, laundry, work is my song of thanks to Him, joy rains." -Ann Voskamp

So with that quote in mind, I'll sing a song of thanks to Him today as I wash and clean up the dishes... 

.

.

.

.

.

rinse and shine the cast iron...

.

.

.

.

.

wash, dry, fold and put away laundry... again.

.

.

.

.

.

As I ignore the piled higher and higher homeschool planning for next year (but am still praying over)

.

.

.

.

.

 As I thank the Lord for a job that I love, and work coming in

.

.

.

.

.

As I prepare 3 meals today for my family

.

.

.

.

.

As I serve the cat.  Wait... strike that.  ;o)

.

.

.

.

.

As I clean the smudgy mirrors...

.

.

.

.

.

wipe counters, put away messes...

.

.

.

.

.

As I work at maintaining a beautiful yard (and squirrel ravaged garden) we've been blessed with

.

.

.

.

.

And I'll serve him as I work through my list of mundane daily things I must get done.  

 

In all of this there is joy.

Joy for a bright new day.

Joy for health to do all the things.

Joy for the beauty all around that my eyes rarely see.
