"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thess. 5:18)

The Homemaker's Prayer:

Lord, we thank thee for this sink of dirty dishes; we have good food to eat. Thank you for this pile of dirty laundry; we have nice cloths to wear. I would like to thank you for these unmade beds; they were all comfortable last night. My thanks for this bathroom, complete with soggy towels, splattered mirror, and grimy lavatory; its still very convenient. Thank you for this finger smudged refrigerator that needs defrosting so badly. It has served us faithfully for a long time; and inside are cool drinks and enough leftovers for another meal. Thank you for this oven which absolutely must be cleaned; it has baked many good meals over the years. Our whole family is grateful for that tall grass that needs to be mowed; we all enjoy our private yard. Thanks for that slamming screen door; the children are healthy and able to run and play. Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me says that you have richly blessed this family. I shall do them all gratefully and cheerfully. Amen. (Author Unknown)
