Being a Busy Women...
The role that has been placed upon us is an important one...one given directly from Our Creator and it is one I don't take lightly. God calls us to play so many roles as women (some more daunting than others) all of great importance. And the more I think about each of the roles the more I have come to learn that it is really more about our attitude in completing them than about how the "chore" gets done. I struggle with my attitude. An eight hour work day that leads to an evening of lunches, dinner, baths, stories and a half hour of quality family time usually leads this full time working mom to a place of down right grouchiness. I want to change that, I want this circle of people around me to see that I take each and every task the Lord has placed before me as an opportunity to serve my family, friends, church and community. Someone once told me that you should do the dishes (any task) as if Jesus was standing right next to you...I assure you that I would not be slamming doors and dishes around :). I resolve to change my attitude. Colossians 3:23 says "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." Now back to the laundry!


Application: I intend to find some element of fun or purpose in each task I complete today.
