everything you do.

planter pictured above is not from my own green thumb. just so you know. ;)
 
i love listening to the radio on my way into work in the mornings. klove is such a positive and uplifting station to listen to and the idea for this morning's post came from something i heard this morning, so i thought i'd pass it along.
 
some days are hard to get through, no?
with the numerous things we have on our plate, whether you spend the majority of your day in the corporate world, the computer being your closest companion for those eight hours, or whether you spend it making meals and cleaning the house with littles around you, at the end of the day, we may just feel downright exhausted!
and maybe it's happened to you as well, that you feel since almost nothing got completed the way you expected, you may feel like you efforts were useless.
i know i've felt that way a time or two.
 
yet we are reminded that everything we do, cleaning up spaghetti from the walls or taking calls from upset customres, should be done enthusiastically as if it were for the Lord. (colossians 3:23-24)
and none of us would grumble while working for God, correct? ahem.
sure it's hard sometimes, but if the Lord has placed us where we are, it's to give Him glory in every which way we can, it's for a purpose to point back to Him. and when we do that, none of our work will be useless or in vain. when we remember that day in or day out, we may not even require coffee to get us moving! no? okay maybe. but today let's remember our work is valuable.
rejoice during the day!
 
what helps you stay positive and joyful during the day?
 
xoxo leah

Was this inspired by the song Everything You Do by Steven Curtis Chapman? Looove that song!!

It's amazing how much it can change our days and our perspective to surrender every little thing to the Lord!

whenever I need to nurse my daughter I'm forced to just relax...and then i'm holding a perfect precious child in my arms and I remember all is good.
