This is a little lengthy but I felt I needed to share. I hope someone gets as much of a blessing as I did when the Lord told it to me over a basket of clothes! :)
There have been times when I've struggled, as I'm sure many a new (and possibly experienced) housewife has, at the amount of on going housework. Couple that with the fact a lot of women work all day or night as well and it can be downright overwhelming sometimes. However tonight, I'm taking a new perspective on it! I'm glad, even thankful, that my house is never perfect and sometimes messy. Yes, I said it, and here's why.
-I'm thankful for a sinkful of dishes because that means that my husband and I have had a good meal that I was fortunate enough to buy and cook.
-I'm thankful for the bottomless dirty laundry hamper because it means I have way more than an abundance of clothes and a time saving way of washing/drying them.
-I'm thankful for the ever dusty floors and carpets to sweep and vacuum because I could be walking on a dirt floor instead.
-I'm thankful for unmade beds because it sure beats not having one.
-I'm thankful for toilet seats that are not put down and showers with hair in them because I don't have to go outside to use either one.
-I'm thankful for shredded toy animals to pick up ALL the time because we're lucky enough to have several four-legged babies that hold our hearts until the Good Lord sees fit to gift us with the two-legged variety. ;)
-I'm thankful for the decreased amount of time to complete these chores because my husband and I both have jobs which we could easily not have.
-Most of all, though, I'm thankful for my not so perfect and more often than not, messy home because it reminds me of how blessed we truly are.
So tonight, I think I'll temporarily complete my never ending list with a smile instead of a frown because sometimes the little things shouldn't be taken for granted!! :)
