I want to live my life in way of approaching the Throne of God with a thankful heart; primarily for His love and grace displayed with Christ on the cross, but also for each and every blessing surrounding me. A thankful heart prepares the way for Christ to work in my life. This is my blog to share what is happening along the road of my sanctification - which tends to be long and a bit dusty...

Joy in Chores
I know some of you think I am crazy for the excitement of chores and cooking. But I find it’s in those little tasks, I am reminded of the overflow of blessing I received from our King... all so undeserving. I am able to dust a house, yet there are many who have never lived with a roof over their heads. I can cook and feed my family, yet there are people in our own community who have gone days without food. My home is filled with laughter and joy most days, and yet there are some (within my own circle) grief stricken and filled with sorrow. As I approach the Throne, it’s with a thankful, totally undeserving, and overwhelmed heart! For me, those tasks aren’t chores or burdens, but reminders of the love of God! I don’t want to be away from those reminders which help me see His kingdom more clearly.

thanks for reminding me...I confess many times I see these things as work or things that HAVE to get done, rather than blessings and reminders of the love of God...thank you Lord for reminding me
