Be Thankfull

I was reading a devotional last week that was taken from "Daily Wisdom for Mothers" by Michelle Medlock Adams. I was challenged to be thankful for things that I sometimes complain about i.e. that I pay taxes because that means that I am employed or that I have to clean house because that means that I have a house to live in. So this week as we celebrate Thanksgiving let's remember to look for the things we can be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Wallpaper

The people who lived in my home before me loved wallpaper! However after several years, wallpaper needs to be replaced. Here are a few of the lessons I have learned stripping wallpaper.
1) It always takes longer than you think.
2) There is no easy way to strip wallpaper. It takes lots of energy and hard work.
3) Once you get the wallpaper off you aren't even half done. You still need to texture the walls and then paint.
4) There are always little things that need to be taken care of i.e. cracks, holes, etc.
Lessons I've learned that I can apply to everyday life. Life takes time and energy and it is never as easy as you think it will be. However, I have learned that if I try to do life on my own I will probably mess it up but I need to commit everything I do to the Lord and allow Him to lead and guide me daily. With Christ nothing is impossible with His help.
Praying that you will allow Christ to live in and through you today.
