Have you ever invited a new family over for dinner and found yourself totally cleaning out the house. I was dusting, moping, vacuuming, bathrooms-the works. Then come to find out they never got the message and were out of town. LOL I felt a tiny bit convicted my family wasn't my motives, but they still ended up with a fresh home. Then our scripture for the week was Do all things cheerfully and whole heatedly as unto the Lord, not unto men. That "not unto men", you can highlight! Sometimes this is
Men: I have a responsibilities, suck it up ...one more time with feeling.
Sometimes it's Men: I did it! will I get any acknowledgement?
When I let the Word of God decide what I do and why, men (people and their response) have nothing to do with it. Which means I get grace for the days there's just nothing to "suck up" and every good day with all my efforts and dust bunnies get written in eternity. My family and friends have no obligation to pat me on the back, just the joy of walking in a home cleaned by a woman who loves Jesus. Or loves the grace of Jesus: depending on what week you catch me ;)
Last weekend we had a wedding in Austin. I had the best time with some of our precious Marine Corp family. The kids had an incredible time with GG. Here are some hats from Magic time machine they all wanted to show off.
So Cute! (that's a hershey's kiss on her head).jpg)
This is my husband (left) "fishing" for Cpl. S

He looked like one of those English guards, I couldn't resist playing around.
