Thank You for Washing Machines

Dear God,

Thank you for washing machines.

I read a TO DO list one time that was written by a pioneer woman from the 1800's. It looked something like this:

Monday: Laundry
Tuesday: Can Vegetables
Wednesday: Sew and Mend
Thursday: Trade in Town
Friday: Make Pies
Saturday: Garden
Sunday: Church/Rest

These women spent all day on one task sometimes. Did they talk to You when they did that? Did they sing and hum made up songs? My grandma wrote a song about a goat one time. I wonder if that came on one of her "wash" days.

One day=One task

You know what? That my not be so bad of an idea. BUT, thank you for the progression of washing clothes with an electric washing machine that does it all....

Love,
Me:)

It's Hard to be a Doer (not a Deer)

Dear God,

Being a "doer" (not a deer) is harder than I thought. I have really been working to become more of a doer of Your word, a doer in my house work, a doer to better myself, a doer to help and give to others. Being a "doer" is an entirely different way of living than being a "dreamer" only. Doers get things DONE!! Results are a big factor for a doer. You can't have "done" without "do"......NOPE.

I need to know what results I want to achieve BEFORE I start doing something, not AFTER I begin the process. I think that it would give more purpose to the "Do" in my life.

Do-Do-Do
Know-Know-Know
Value-Value-Value
and
Start-Start-Start!!

How SIMPLE is that?

Thanks for DOERS! Help me to be one. And thank you for deers too.

Love,
Me:)

    but those who chase fantasies have no sense.

Bless the Latter Part of My Life Please

Dear God,

I really love how the book of Job ended. Job 42:12 says that You blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. I feel like this is the stage that I am in right now of my life. As of this writing, I am 47 years old. Will I live to be 94 years old? Anyway, I think that at the age of 47, one can say they are entering the latter part of life. I feel blessed by You so far. If life can be divided into two parts, the first part and the last part, then I would have to say the first part was filled with a lot of LIFE stuff (birth-growing-salvation-high school-college-marriage-children-home-vocations-death of loved ones). It has been pretty full thus far.

God, I don't want to be selfish and ask you this, but I DO want to ask You to bless the latter part of my life MORE than the first. WOW!!! That would be awesome. I think that I will start off the second half by falling totally in love with You and following the words that have been given to us.

Love,
Me:)

Today is Auto Pilot Day

Dear God,

Some days, I feel that my auto pilot has been turned on. Today is one of those "auto pilot" kind of days. I see all of the tasks before me, I anticipate some stressful situations and some uncertainties as I am going to be meeting with a person today that I am not sure HOW to help them. God, help me and give me wisdom. I have many home tasks to do and I know how exhausted I physically am going to be after an extremely busy day at work. It seems that I can see the beginning, the middle, and the end of this day before it begins....how LIFELESS!

God, I thank you for the auto pilot days too. Being on auto pilot means things are gonna be smooth with no unusual problems, wind or storms ahead. Coasting life is good sometimes. It gives us time to rest before the next hill comes up.

Love,
Me:)
