My husband and I spent nine hours working in our yard last Saturday. We had intended on only spending a few hours and then going on to do other things. But just like a bowl of pasta, it was never ending. Once we got started, it just kept going and going... and going and going. Two hours turned into three, five turned into nine... then we realized it was starting to get dark and our kids needed dinner and baths. So we had to stop.
I love a day of good, hard work. It's quite satisfying to look at all you were able to do. It's a great feeling of accomplishment. And if you are a stay-at-home-mom, you know how hard it is to get that feeling sometimes!
I love having a good time, or a relaxing day just like anyone else. But I also love days to work hard. I think they are meant to be a blessing just like any other. We surely benefit from each experience. And they are all opportunities for us to bless other people. Nothing short than another one of God's fingerprints.
Fellow blogger Beki at The Rusted Chain has a really great weekly post she does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." We are to look around and see where we can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Anywhere? Go find out where Beki saw God this week, and be sure to check out the other bloggers who linked their stories as well.
