Today we faced the dreaded task of doing a thorough weekly cleaning and preparing for a trip out of town. This tends to make me cranky and like many mothers I pass my crankiness on to the children. Well after a snappy morning I prayed for inspiration and afterwards I was bound and determined to make our chores fun.
The result? I dressed up as "the clean room fairy" and announced that the children's mother had left the premises and invited me to help them get the house organized and pack. The hours that followed were pleasant and dare I say...fun.
Life sometimes calls us to be someone we don't feel like being... someone who likes cleaning, someone who can squeeze an extra hour into an already packed day to make dinner for a sick co-worker or someone who can make it through a day without judging others. Next time you feel that way pray for your own inspiration and the Lord will show you a new way to be human.
