I have been inspired by Stacy Richardson's 365 Blog over the past year, and her passion for catching part of her daily life every day through photography is infectious. I thought "I should do something like that!" - however the office job and lack of cute kids would make such a photography blog rather redundant. I have, however, over the years had quite the penchant for writing. In the tumult of life post-college, I have never quite felt settled enough to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard as it now should be. I went on to pursue some funny jobs, two masters degrees, and then blissfully fell in love and the wonderful man married me. And I'm beginning to feel settled.
So now is a good time to pick up some solid brainy discipline again and begin to capture the bright thoughts or happenings of the day.
Here is my thoughts from today:
"We ought not to grow tired of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed" - Brother Lawrence
I'm finding married life has no end of little things to do, particularly in the kitchen and cleaning up around the house. Realizing that the little things in my life will take up the most time in my tenure here on earth, I'm thinking contemplating the greatness of love in doing the dishes, for keeping things in good order, and enjoying the never ending errands will be a better idea than trying to rush through them to get to greater and grander things - only to realize I missed the whole point all along. Neat to serve a God who is so grand in the greatest thing, and so tremendously small in the little things. Time to find Him there.
