I ended up doing a lot of cleaning around the house. At first, it was really satisfying to get things done, but then I started to get bitter that no one else was helping out. And that started to spoil my mood. (Obviously, this day has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster.) It's the worst when you start slipping into a rotten mood, so gave my attitude some consideration. And that's when I realized that I could do the same thing with a good or a bad heart and that would determine the value of my day. What a powerful thing our attitude is!
To make it really simple, if I clean the kitchen with the mindset that I want to serve my family and honor God with my time, the day is a success! If I clean the entire house, but have a bitter, angry mindset, I have failed and my work wasn't worth much.
Let's pray that we can have the same attitude that Jesus had, so that our lives will honor Him more and more!
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. I Corinthians 10:31
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1

First comment!
My sister-in-law decided we were going to have a Jane Austen marathon today, so most of my day was spent watching romance flicks lol! But about an hour and a half of it was spent outside in the blowing snow shoveling off the two feet of snow on the driveway, by myself. I actually enjoyed it, and was able to do it MUCH faster than normal.
So, yay for a "succesful" day!
It's ok, I totally know how you feel! I stayed home and helped clean and shoveled the snow outside my door and I am exhausted. I did more than I usually do, so I am actually proud of myself today! I am very happy thinking of everything I did today!
That's hilarious, my roomy and I did the same thing. We are trapped in the house, so we took the time to just clean up the house, specifically our kitchen and living room, and then sat around reading, very satisfied with ourselves :).
Jill, i love you! But i also like snow. Today was fun, i got to watch tv, play computer. i also shoveled a little...except it was hard considering the snow was up to my knees. it wasn't much differnt except that my gymnastic lesson was canceled, i didn't go anywhere, but i usually dont on Saturdays so basiclly it was the same.
I had to clean today...*gag* I don't mind it though, but it can get boring.
I got to go sleding....It took us hours to get their though
Then I got to go to some reastraunt that I had never heard of it was fun
