Work should always be associated with joy. . . The story is told of three women washing clothes. A passerby asked each what she was doing. " Washing clothes" was the first answer. "A bit of household drudgery" was the second. "I'm mothering three young children who someday will fill important and useful spheres in life, and wash-day is a part of my grand task in caring for these souls who shall live forever" was the third.
Ordinary work, which is what most of us do most of the time, is ordained by God every bit as much as is the extraordinary. All work done for God is spiritual work and therefore not merely a duty but a holy privilege.
Elisabeth Elliot
In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, not for people. ~Col. 3:23
I can do all things through christ, because He gives me strength.~Phil. 4:13

It has been a busy week and I am behind in the laundry. I needed this reminder today! May be someone else does also.
God Bless your day, Sharon
