It sometimes helps to see things from another
perspective

Lord, thank thee for this sink of dirty dishes,
We have plenty of food to eat.

Thank thee for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry,
We have plenty of nice clothes to wear.

And I would like to thank thee, Lord, for those unmade
beds in there.
They were so warm and so comfortable last night.
I know that many have no bed.

My thanks to thee, Lord, for this bathroom, complete
with all the
splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty
lavatory,
They are so convenient.

Thank thee for this finger smudged refrigerator that
needs defrosting so
badly,
it has served us faithfully for many years.
It is full of cold drinks and enough leftovers for two or
three meals.

Thank thee Lord, for this oven that absolutely must be
cleaned today,
It has baked so many things over the years.

The whole family is grateful for that tall grass that
needs mowing,
The lawn that needs raking; we all enjoy the yard.

Thank thee, Lord, even for that slamming screen
door.
My kids are healthy and able to run and play.

Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me
says thou hast
richly blessed my family. I shall do them all cheerfully
and I shall
do them gratefully.


AMEN!
