It
sometimes helps to look at things from another
perspective:
GOD, thank
you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty
of food to eat.
Thank you for
this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty
of nice clothes to wear.
And I would
like to thank you, GOD, for those unmade beds; they
were so warm and comfortable last night. I know
that many have no bed.
My thanks to
you, GOD, for this bathroom, complete with all the
splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty
lavatory; they are so convenient.
Thank you for
this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs
defrosting so badly; It has served us faithfully
for many years. It is full of cold drinks and
enough leftovers for two or three meals.
Thank you,
GOD, for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned
today. It has baked so many things over the years.
The whole
family is grateful for that tall grass that needs
mowing, the lawn that needs raking; we all enjoy
the yard.
Thank you,
GOD, even for that slamming screen door.
My kids are
healthy and able to run and play.
GOD, the
presence of all these chores awaiting me says
You have
richly blessed my family.
I shall do
them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully.
AMEN!
