...this is the life


Cheri Keaggy did a concert at our church some 15 years ago, and something she said will ever remain in my SAHMama brain -"laundry is like God's love ... never-ending." No matter how many times I say it as I fold the 2 or 3 loads a day, I can't help but think what kind of Heavenly Father would never complain when I give Him a heap load of my dirties? What kind of Savior removes the stains so that they are never to be seen again? What kind of Holy Spirit softens my heart each AM with His new tender mercies? So when it seems that I've been doing laundry for some 30 plus years... dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life! Jude 1:20 21
