Thankful Chores

11/27/2015

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him, bless His name.  For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations." -Psalms 100:4-5 (NASB)
Recently, as I was raking leaves in the yard, I was thinking about the task of raking and cleaning up the yard.  I would rather let the leaves compost instead of raking and bagging them, but my neighbors wouldn't want my leaves in their yards.  As I was raking, I started to think differently about the task I was doing.  What if we reconsider our "to do" list and count the items as blessings instead of chores?

There are times when many of us don't like doing the chores.  Whether cleaning, laundry, yard work, or whatever else is on our "to do" list, there are usually other things we would prefer to be doing.  However, if we think more about our chores, we can see all that we have to be thankful for each and every day.  If we are cleaning the house or doing work in the yard, we can be thankful that we have a home and yard.  If we are doing laundry, we can be thankful for the clothes we have to wear.  If we are cooking or washing dishes, we can be thankful for the food that we have to eat.  Each item on our "to do" list gives us a reason to enter God's gates with thanksgiving and praise.  We can bless His name for loving us and providing for us, even if we are doing chores!

Be thankful for chores that show how much God has blessed you!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for blessing me and showing me that each chore on my list is really a sign that You have blessed me and provided for me.  All praise and thanks to You!  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
