And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
There are lots of things we have to do that we don’t like to do. For instance, I really hate cleaning the bathroom. I also hate grocery shopping and laundry. Oh and I just love meetings, said no teacher, anywhere!
It seems we have a couple of options when faced with dreaded tasks. We can not do them and face the consequences, like running out of clean underwear. We can do them grumbling and complaining the entire time making the task even more unbearable. Our other option would be to do it the Colossians 3:17 way. Do it in the name of the Lord and give thanks to God.
You know the old spoonful of sugar routine? Well here is your sugar. Find the blessing in the task. I am thankful I have clothes, a washer and dryer in my home, and clean water to wash them. You try it! What is the blessing of your task? Concentrate on it instead of grumbling about it. Maybe like Mary Poppins, you will find that the medicine goes down in the most delightful way!
Lord, help me find the blessings in all my tasks! ~amen
