I went shopping for furniture with my mom, and when we got back, I organized her kitchen. It occurred to me that she is a hoarder, but in a way quite different from my mother-in-law. This once again confirmed that my husband and I come from very similar families, both with broken cores in strikingly similar ways. It’s fascinating how God orchestrates people to come together.
Looking at the clean kitchen, I feel so much better. Not only did I do something good for my mom, but I also want to see her live with a healthier mindset and better quality of life. I hope I wasn’t just caught up in my actions, I want to impact her both physically and spiritually.
Oh Lord, give me Your perfect scale of balance so I can align my actions with Your standards. I know I often lose myself in doing, believing that’s the way to make things better. But deep down, I know that You alone make everything turn, run, and become perfect in its own time and way.
I’m simply grateful that I came home with a renewed heart this time, and most importantly, that I brought You with me. I love You, my God. Grant me a restful sleep so I can wake up refreshed to do more for You and Your kingdom.
