SPEAK THIS BLESSING OVER YOUR HOME

Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, 

a very present help in trouble.

A Home Blessing

BEAUTIFUL DAY.  This is our SPRING before the SUMMER HEAT blast our Kansas weather.  Cool and overcast grey skies.  With the french doors cracked open, the cooler air from the screened in porch drifts into the Living room as a gentle breeze carrying a current of fresh air to breath in.  As I sit, I can hear the birds' musical notes.  Pigeons and doves are cooing.  This is one sound I have not tired of.  The cooing.

One of my favorite ways to spend my mornings is by going through the mail with sipping coffee in hand and eating flavored yogurt listening to the songs of nature.  Sitting in my recliner helps my old body carry on.  The cool of the morning is refreshing after working up a sweat just from walking across the house.
  

Lack of having a thyroid causes enormous changes in the human body.  The one pill a day does not even cover it.  ONE SIZE FITS ALL doesn't work when dealing with thyroid health.  I am a thyroid cancer survivor and with that comes all kind of challenges.  It's not the way it was.  As much as I would like it to be, it isn't.  This is reason enough to research and read just about everything I can get my hands on to help normalize LIFE without a thyroid.  The new norm isn't.  With it brings a Hurricane of emotions and a Sunami of challenges coming over my soul.

I have my moments that I want to give up.  Moments pass.  A new day begins and sometimes in that new day I feel fantastic and can clean the toilet with a grin on my face.  Tadaaah.  Done until next time.

I'll be writing out MOTHER's DAY CARDS this morning and placing in the mail.  I truly need to go visit my elderly MOM.  I have a gift for her and I want to get some flowers as well to personally present to her with a hug with a kiss on the cheek.  Such a wonderful Mother I have.  Through the years she has been there for me in so many ways that I am overwhelmed with thankfulness.

TODAY has been on the busy side for me, but am thankful (oh so THANKFUL) I have some energy to get a few household chores completed.
Cleaning the upstairs pedestal sink and toilet as well as the tile floor around these fixtures and the mirror takes some effort for me.  

Stretching and bending over to reach those hard to reach places is good old fashion exercise.  I can pride myself in the fact that it is done for the week.  The tub will get scoured later.  I have to do a little here and there to make things happen.  Slow, but steady.  You go girl!


The trash was taken out and a new trash bag placed in waste can.  Outstanding accomplishment....  

The dining room area rug was vacuumed.  Later comes the Living room carpet and dusting the wood floors.  This may not sound like doing much, but I assure you when your 'ole body doesn't have strength to stand, completing these chores are a milestone.  

A pat yourself on the back moment when no one else realizes the effort it takes to do this small amount of work.  An act of LOVE.  
An act of kindness.  A HOME BLESSING.

Later this week I will carry on and get the other box of sweater laundered with Woolite and put away for the season.  DIRTY Laundry has a way of breeding and enlarging the task of getting the laundry finished.  
Sometimes I wonder how people a hundred years ago kept this task up.  Not so many clothing, hired out washers, took more time hand washing all the goods?  Have Mercy.

Next week I will continue to rearrange my personal closet.  Continue on shuffling stuff in the new to come OFFICE.  I will measure windows and go purchase rods to hang some curtains on and get 'er done.  MAY is my focus on the detail MONTH.  Kitchen in here somewhere.  

TODAY's HOME BLESSING: I have gone through the mail, scanned through the newspaper, emptied fridge containers to soak in the soak, put some dishes away, gathered the cards to address, put fresh towels out in the bathroom, cleaned a couple of bathroom fixtures.  I will bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within.  Bless His HOLY name.  Bless this HOME I have and do my best to keep it tidy and clean.

There is such a push to declutter and have less to dust in the environment on the internet.  This push to downsize and say no more is a real concern to many.  Where are we being led as citizens of this planet.  Important to be a good steward of nature and yet we were created to worship God and be HIS children.  We have a creative streak in us to use and enjoy and bless GOD and others.  These creative streaks are to be used which adds contentment to our lives with satisfaction.  

What are your talents?  What brings you joy?  Satisfaction to be.
There's only one you.  You are.    

Sometimes working does not seem like a blessing, but it is.  Being able to move about and think is a blessing.  Taking care of HUSBAND and HOME is a blessing.  Children are a blessing.  Grands are a blessing.  Even if there are no children in the picture...you are a blessing.  Breathe a little deeper.  Using talent to LIVE is a blessing.  A HOME is a blessing.  Being is a blessing.  Being a child of GOD is a blessing.  You are a blessing.  
Be a blessing.

Home LIFE is a blessing.  HOME LIFE is for me.
Making HOME my own,
