Today's reading was about being a life giver in pretty much all areas of our lives. I find it interesting that,of course, today I would certainly not feel very life giving. I know it is because I'm tired. Even on my run this morning I was half asleep (that's a weird feeling.)
I've been on a short fuse with the kids, cranky with people I come in contact with and just feeling irritable altogether. Definitely not life giving. I'm praying for God's grace to cover me and help me through this day with a better attitude towards others but especially the kids.
One part of the assignment is how to make your domain come alive. What can I do to bring life to my home, my kids, my husband and my sphere of influence? Definitely having a better attitude would be a start. For my home, perhaps I could do a little decorating to make it more inviting. I can give life to my kids by being gentle and speaking uplifting words of kindness. I can greet my husband with a smile instead of piling on him my frustrations of the day and as far as my sphere of influence, well I can remember that we are all God's creatures and all deserving of kindness and patience.
The second part of the assignment is clean out and scrub down the refrigerator and freezer. She says to use 2 tablespoons of baking soda per 1 quart of hot water to wash the inside. I've never used that before. I'm curious to try it though because I've always just used the chemicals before...you know the ones that make it hard to breathe. Well, it is early afternoon I guess I better get to it!
