It all depends upon your out look!

You can make something enjoyable or a real bore.

You can choose to focus on the good or the bad.

You can encourage those around you by your positive attitude or discourage them by your negative one.

It really depends on your out look! Remember who is in control of all things. He is working all things together for your good! What a wonderful promise.

 

Sarah, Kenan, Adam, and I had been given a job to go and clean this huge house which was going to settlement that following week.

We decided to make it a day we would never forget!

It all started at Wal-Mart. We went to buy the necessary supplies for doing this job with excellence, yet not wanting to eat into our profits to much. With so many wise shoppers along the cleaners, and scrub brushes, a mop, a broom, paper towels, and snacks to keep the crew at their best were gathered in record time.

Dad met us there at the home to open the door and away we went!

Scrub, scrub, scrub, squeak, squeak, squeak. YES, it’s clean!!

  

  

 

As the job came to a close we were a bit tired yet rejoicing in how the day unfolded.  I was so encouraged by the diligence and joy that everyone portrayed. Each person that day decided to choose to view this task from the Lord and use all their energies to accomplish it! ~

The joy of the Lord truly can be your strength. It is through Him and by Him that your out look on life can be changed.
