Our Monday night Bible Study group is studying Lysa TerKurst’s book, “Becoming More Than A Good Bible Study Girl.” The reading is really good and her insights on the DVD are very enjoyable.
Last night she talked about “having” to do things. “I have to do the laundry, I have to pick up after my kids, I have to wash dishes, etc.” Those are entirely the wrong words to use! How about “I am able to do the laundry, I am able to pick up after my kids, I am able to praise God in all things.”
Those words, and attitude adjustment, really hit home for all of us last night.
What a gift we have if we are able to wash clothes…that means we have a house filled with family. If we have to run around and drop the kids off and pick them up, then they are able to participate in many things and are happy and healthy.
I thought it was a great adjustment in how we tend to view our daily goings and comings. So often we get wrapped up in the dailyness of life, that we forget how truly blessed we are. How blessed we are to have family, friends and a God who loves us more than any of us can even begin to imagine.
