Lately it’s been a little difficult keeping our home as spic ‘n span as I’d like to. Last evening, my husband decided to take over the cleaning chores ‘from this day onwards’. He did a great job. After a tiring hour or so of scrubbing with some strong chemicals, he reveled in seeing surfaces get their shiny sheen once more. We also realized that we had to use a lot more cleaning agents than usual as we’d neglected these surfaces for quite some time.
At the end of it, he made a statement that set me thinking. He said: Y’ know what my prayer is? I hope that I become very sensitive to the slightest spot of dirt in my life. I don’t want to have to have to go through such a scrubbing later on to remove stubborn stains. Easier to get rid of our unwelcome baggages as each day goes by rather than wait for a BIG scrubbing from above!
He then concluded with this redeeming statement: Yet, in all this uncomfortable scrubbing and chemicals, our Father is with us. He’s the One who’s doing the cleansing. Painful as it may be, He goes through it with us.
And here's something to chew on ... That's reassuring, isn't it? :-)

Oh so very true! Sometimes it takes longer for others... like me. LOL The last time I tried to comment on this journal it would not post? Guess my computer needed to be worked on then and I didn't realize it. Wishing you a wonderful week. Blessings, Janie Marie
