ANOTHER Load of Laundry?

Some days all that it seems that I do, is CLEAN.  Clean up after my kids, my husband, myself and the invisible tornado that seems to destroy my apartment, every single day.  As soon as I finish doing all of the dishes in the sink, I look over and there are suddenly more.  Same with laundry, as soon as I get the last folded pile put up, the laundry basket is over flowing. 
It can become so incredibly easy to become overwhelmed.  Walking behind toddlers with a basket in hand can be exhausting.  This life demands so many things.  Working, school work, house chores, playing with our kids, helping them with their homework, being intimate with our spouses, and let's not forget we need to add exercising and making healthy meals to that never ending to do list. 
When all seems crazy we need to put our focus on the One who created us.  God is there with us every single step of the way, guiding our steps, we just have to be willing to see.  Accepting His love and help can change the way you view your pile of dishes.  The Lord blessed you with a beautiful family, full of chaos and smiles, temper tantrums and kisses, messy faces and bubble baths.  When you're tempted to get upset about the never ending to do list, think about what your life would be without it.  Quiet, and empty.  The Lord blessed me with the perfect family for me, and He put me in this place because He knows I can do great things with and for the people in my life.  Let's serve our families.  Put on the same smiling face you put on with people at your work place and at church.  Serving our family is right up there with serving our Lord. 
Yes, it's hard, but with God by your side, helping you through every part of your day, you can do anything! 
Rejoice when your crying baby wants mommy in the middle of the night, you are loved, and needed and wanted.  Smile when your child hands you yet another dirty dish to wash, you are blessed with food to eat and a sink to wash your dishes in, you are nourishing your child, a child that God Himself blessed you with.  Dance when your husband needs you to do something for him, and instead of being upset, try asking him what you can do for him.  You'll see his eyes light up. 
Let's make it a daily priority to SERVE our own families.  To love on them the way Jesus would. 

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
