Guess What

Guess what.
An attitude of gratitude makes housework easier.

I’m not kidding. I proved it today.

There were floors to dust mop, toilets to clean, sinks, countertops, dishes to wash, laundry, cooking  – you know those endless tasks. Endless because we do them over and over again. And we can complain about it – a lot. 
But why?

Did not The LORD tell us whatever we put our hands to do, to do it for Him? 

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Complete Jewish Bible
10 Whatever task comes your way to do, do it with all your strength; because in Sh’ol, where you will go, there is neither working nor planning, neither knowledge nor wisdom.  source
 
Colossians 3:23 New Living Translation
23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.  source
 

Hey now, we can dust mop floors, clean counters, and all that other stuff already listed with a thankful heart.
Giving thanks that we can fellowship with JESUS while doing these things AND we can give thanks that we have floors and a roof and people on those floors, beneath that roof that we love.
AND we can train our children in the process (because yes they need to be taught to clean too). We can give praise out loud to our Gracious LORD as we work alongside those little ones – helping them with toys and clothes and whatever tasks they are ready to learn.  It will take holy practice for them and us! 

Believe it or not, Scripture does not say: cleanliness is next to godliness. However, if we look around at Creation we can easily see that our Creator is The GOD of orderliness, tidiness, etc. 

I really expect Heaven is beautiful, clean, and tidy. 
I think I best practice till I get there!   :)

We were made for this,

2021, A 2021 Snippet, An Opinion Piece, For What It's Worth To You

Asking the Remnant

3 Comments

I am wondering and I am just enough, whatever I am – stupid maybe, to put this out here for people to read. Albeit, not that many I suspect. :)

Donald Trump.
Not all, but too many, people either inordinately hate Donald Trump or inordinately adore him.
I don’t think it’s a fully human happenstance.

There are people out to destroy him – why?

Why this one man that is no worse a sinner than the ones fighting night and day for more than five years now to incapacitate (that’s not my original word) him?
From what I can see these people have committed far more immoral, treasonous, criminal acts than Donald Trump but no one is after them; to the contrary, they seem to be protected from justice. 

It seems otherworldly to me for people to have this much hatred, for this long, for one man.
So who is behind this? Who is pulling the strings and why? 

And on the flip side what of these people who adore the man to the point of idol worship or something very close? What’s up with this? 

Why am I asking? I am asking because with clearly this much supernatural activity connected with this one man, something is up and I am wondering what do we the Remnant need to see and understand about this?

That’s it. 
2021, For What It's Worth To You, Gospel of Matthew, It's a Bonus Post, Questions, Romans, Salvation

This is an unusual post for me.
It is not directed at my brothers and sisters; it is offered to those who have made that common accusation, that GOD sends people to hell.

David penned in Psalm 51

7 (5) True, I was born guilty,
was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me. source

David is acknowledging here what is the truth. 
We are born sinners. 
What does that mean exactly?

That we each and every one of us are sinners — there is NONE righteous, no not one. (Romans 3:10)

It means we, each of us, are born on the road to hell.
Moreover, through the course of our lives, GOD intervenes, He puts up roadblocks, He brings people into our lives with the Good News of the Gospel that JESUS is alive to save us and desires to save us; He arranges for us to hear songs, sermons, see Scripture Passages – all these things come into our lives. And we even have creation itself to witness to us that we have a Creator. Creation invites us to look and see GOD.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,  source

Warning signs.
Flashing Lights.
Roadblocks. 
The Execution Stake
An Empty Tomb!

And people ignore them, go around them, jump over them, and one day they die.
They die on that road to hell. It is their destination; it is the road they refused all their life to get off of.
The Road that JESUS came and met them on and they said, “no, thank You.”

At our deaths, GOD has no choice; His holiness, His love, His mercy, His Justice MUST honor our decisions.

Hell is the place HE tried to keep you out of BUT you refused. 
Hell was not made for YOU but it will open for you if you insist. (See Matthew 25:41)

It’s as simple as that.
