Mondays~

Today is Monday, another Monday to get the laundry done! When my visiting son Matthew Scott saw all the laundry being 'sorted' this morning, he said "Wow...that is ALOT of clothes!" How quickly we forget what a large amount of laundry a family manufactures! Yep...I still do all our laundry in one day...the rest of the week I am free from laundry! I get it done. Smile! Matthew Scott and his adorable wife and cuddly son were heading to PA before the snow gets here.

BEFORE the snow gets here!? Did I say that?

We survived 2 blizzards here on Lake Vista Road in the last week. The snowbanks are as high as my shoulder. I don't see how the school bus will make it to our development, but we will see. School is supposed to start up again tomorrow after 7 school days off (Today is President's Day). We home school so we aren't affected too much by that, although Hannah does take an Algebra class and History class at Open Bible, where I am secretary 2 days a week. AND Open Bible is our home Church, not to mention we have an awesome Pastor.

God is good. God is good on the good days. God is good on the not so good days. God is good on the mundane days. God is good on the energy busting days. God is good always. HE is what my days are about. Things come, things go, things break, things disappear, things mount. Yet GOD is GOOD! I have today. God holds tomorrow. I choose how I will spend today. By HIS GRACE!
So I choose to look to HIM for those things I choose to do. What will that be?, you ask.

Today I will do a mound of laundry. To the glory of God. We spilt salsa on our shirts as we watched the blizzard blow. I spilled coffee all over my favorite long sleeve white tee. Some dripped ice cream on their pants. Joschua got cereal all over his socks. Dave coughed with a mouth full of drink. So I will do the laundry. I will do it with intent. I will do it with zest, at least as much zest as I can find-ha. I will do it as unto the LORD. I will pray as I put Caleb's pants in, Bekah's shirt in, Hannah's PJs in, Dave's socks in. I will pray for me as I put my favorite white tee in. I will count my blessings. I will see this as my opportunity to pray over my family, getting the large amount of sheets, towels and socks washed, dried and put away.

Mundane? Yes! Work? Yes! Joy? Yes---because I am doing it as unto HIM the Creator of all things!

Here comes the snow.....okay, I am ready! God is so GOOD ~ Snow or not!

Signing off for now, hugs, Lynette
