Rejoicing In My Calling


Dear God,

As I read my quiet time for today, You have clearly said that I have to be joyful in each and every thing that I do. This includes the things I enjoy doing like baking with my DD, doing computer stuff with my DS, doing errands with my DH, watching a nice movie with my family, as well as the seemingly endless task of keeping the house in order and shape; or simply making this house into a home...

If I look at these motherly and wifely chores with the proper attitude, I am reminded that each one is truly a blessing from You. You have given me a good husband, a smart and intelligent boy, and a beautiful, graceful ballerina who make all this work necessary. You have also given me the strength and ability to accomplish these tasks.

The next time, Lord, that I am tempted to complain about the mounds of work, please remind me to turn my murmuring and grumbling into praise. I am a blessed woman indeed.

...you are to rejoice before the LORD your God
in everything you put your hand to.
Deuteronomy 12:18
