Isn't it funny how when we "HAVE" to do things, that's our motivation to do them. We have people that come over a few times a month for a time of sharing and fellowship. I can't tell you how this helps motivate me (at times challenges and sometimes even stresses me) to tidy the toy room, clean the bathrooms, and keep my culinary arts alive and fresh.
I don't think that I would be doing these chores with such desire and determination unless I had this consistency in my life. Okay, I do love to clean but when you have to clean it makes well for a have to not a get to sometimes, LOL.
So have you found that to be true. When you have to do something, it's your motivation to do things. It can be good or bad. My late grandma used to say to me, "Nessa it's not what you bear but HOW you bear it." So true. I think it's all in the attitude when we approach these thing that can make or break our tasks. When I am tidying up for the fellowship, I get a joy in doing it for soon my home will be filled with the presence of people that we love and care for. When I do laundry, I think of getting my kiddos clean and looking good (but not folding, I really don't enjoy that part) Now honestly, dishes are another Consistent and I need improvement on my attitude here LOL, just saying because it's true and I have a pile staring at me at this very moment YIKES.
Sometimes the mundane is just that: mundane, but let's be those who CHOOSE to have an ATTITUDE of a good heart through all these tasks we have to do.
Just think, God chose you to do these things, and He is watching and taking note of all those things. He loves to reward those things we do.
"But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left and know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward your openly." (Matt 6:3-4)
Have fun with those things, play music, dance around, enjoy life in living.
