He has put me in charge of his home.
When He comes to see
how I have managed His possessions
and His children,
how I have managed His possessions
and His children,
I want to do my best.
Everything I have is on loan from Him.
I have room and board and a job to do,
Therefore I want to dress my best
and do my best in all my work.
(Miss S-far right (and classmates) at her Home School Co-op Graduation 2009)

I also want to be creative,
How I manage my home
is a form of worship to Him.
















I want to frame that quote. I NEED to frame this quote. I love it.
ReplyDeleteCol. 3:23 (Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men) is one of my favorite verses. I used to have my students put it at the top of every paper that they did.
I was convicted in your post about what we wear being part of my worship. Hmmm.... I can get pretty sloppy around the house, especially when the traveling man is out of town. Thank you for that nudge.
And I love the praying Barbie!!!!!
Great post.
Amen and amen! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeletePlease say a faith prayer for us while we wait on God for a home.

Leslie,
ReplyDeleteWe're co-workers! Thank you for sharing such truths and the sweet photograph of darling Miss A saying prayers with Barbie.
Your Friend,
Deborah
That's so true. If every day we kept that in mind life would be better!
ReplyDeleteAmen sister! Always good to be reminded...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder! I try to remember this when doing the dreaded household chores like laundry and dishes... it makes me feel better. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good reminder, from you and Lydia! Sometimes its hard to see the everyday chores in the same light as arranging flowers! But doing so givs more meaning to both activities and undoubtedly makes the chores more pleasant! My daughter is still sad but but doing well. Thanks for asking. She was very attatched to her little hamster.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
