Most days, I love being at home. (If I didn’t absolutely have to leave my house, I don’t know that I ever would!)  And, on those days, I find great joy in the fact it is both my privilege and responsibility to turn our house into more than just a place to eat, sleep, and store our belongings. I can clearly see evidence of God’s love and care for us as I go about my daily routine. On those days, folding laundry, mopping the floor, picking up stray crayons, or dress-up clothes, dusting furniture, and cooking meals all become tangible reminders of God’s goodness and blessing.
Then, there is that other kind of day…

Hi there! Love your blog! Just discoverd it today thru R.H’s 🙂
Thank you for your post today – something that I seem to dealing with constantly these days! Looking forward to following you now – always loving a good read!
Thanks so much for this post! As I prepare for yet another school year, it was a great way for me to renew and refresh my perspective. It also reminded me of a quote from Elisabeth Elliot that was in a recent issue of Kyle’s Worship Leader magazine.
This job has been given to me to do.
Therefore, it is a gift.
Therefore, it is a privilege.
Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God.
Therefore, it is to be done gladly,
if it is done for Him.
Here, not somewhere else,
I may learn God’s way.
In this job, not in some other,
God looks for faithfulness.
~Elisabeth Elliot
May He find me faithful in all that He has called me to all He has called me to be.
Blessings to you~

P.S.) Love your website…just found it!
Thanks for sharing. We all have days… and weeks… like this. And I often need to be reminded of God’s grace and provision thru every circumstance. Your posting today reminded me that this is a repeating cycle in my life… and caused me to ask, “didn’t I blog about this a while back?” Sure enough: http://princapecos.blogspot.com/2010/11/rejoice-always-really.html
