Ten Things

As the days pass by, I wonder what have I been doing lately. Honestly, I could not tell you what I did this past weekend. I've lost my mind and then I sound so boring. When my mom calls I tell her that I've been working, doing housework, and not much more. Am I waisting my life away? During bible study today, I was asked to write ten things down to do each day. TEN THINGS! ARE YOU CRAZY? I asked her. "Are you telling me that you do ten things each day?" She says, "yes". She tells me to give it a try.

"Ha" I asked her if I can just start with 5 things? "OK", she agrees. "Five things for God and five things for your husband." What??? "MY HUSBAND?" I yelled. "He can take care of himself!" After about 15 minutes of nonstop talking, she had me calmed down again. And I was feeling better about myself. I can do this. Right?

Thinking to myself of past assignments she has challenged with, I really haven't accomplished anything. Read a daily inspiration each morning (that book gets lost for 3 months at a time). Make the bed, get beautiful and start your day with a positive attitude because I radiate the Lord Jesus Christ. Read the bible each day and give myself 30 minutes of quiet time. Give your complete attention to every task that you do. Complete attention? Between "Mom, I can't find my tennis shoes, homework, my jeans (all 7 of them are lost?). Heck, I can barely get to work while remembering to brush my hair. One time I went to work with my shirt inside out. One time I got up late and there was a giant birdsnest at the back of my neck that I tried to comb over!
Yes, she is right. I do need her help, her challenges, and her guidance. I will give it a try. Is there someone out there that can give me an easy idea to do for another? My husband leaves notes for my daughter on the dry erase board. How sweet!
