A million things to do!!!

Yeah, a million things to do!!! What woman doesn't experience that overwhelming emotion every once in a while??? 'Cause I do! And of course, it sends me into a time of thinking, scrutinizing, strategizing, planning, organising....you know the works.

So the other day, I had one of those big sigh moments (yet again infront of my mirror), wondering what it would all amount to. I'd just finished doing a round of dishes, than I'd ran through the house making sure that at least everything was generally in place. Then a "mum" moment occurred to me. Remember how no matter how many tasks you did in a day, when your mum walked into the house, she always saw something that needed doing? Yes. Even after I'd done all that, (and believe me it was a lot), I walked around my house and saw a couple of more things that needed doing.

"Boy!" I thought to myself. "When does all this end? On what one day will I do EVERYTHING that needs doing and just sit back and relax, knowing that all is well???" I rolled my eyes at myself, then smiled. It's kinder silly to roll your eyes at your own self :-) lol.

There's a song that I love to sing, one of my favorite songs, actually. It's ONE DAY AT A TIME. A line or two of the song ran through my mind. Then I heard/had a thought, that what is needful for me to do everyday, will be clearly shown to me. That I will PERCEIVE THE NEED, and that I will HAVE THE GRACE and ABILITY to meet that need. It will be RELEVANT and NEEDFUL for the day, and will create a comfy home for everyone. Then on a different day I'll have a different perception, and a different kind of grace to meet the perceived need.

This time round I didn't argue much with the thought. I was just grateful. Because I know that there will be days to simply do the routine chores, and there will be other days when I'm energized and have the time to scrub walls....and it's all good. It's all alrighty...It's OKAY. So nowadays I'm glad to know that what I do each day counts, and that is a very fulfilling feeling to have, and that knowledge that my day's doings were significant is a great encouragement.

I hope this encourages someone today.

Passing on Christ's love,
