I wonder how God is honored in changing diapers ...
I've been struggling lately with finding purpose and meaning in my daily activities. I know that it's not about me - it's about taking care of my family. I am completely blessed to have the opportunity to stay home with Bree, and I love spending time with her - but I still struggle with feeling like what I do matters.
I wake up, I feed her, I change her diapers, I bounce her, I play with her, I change more diapers, and I feed her again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Throw in some cooking, cleaning, and paying bills -- and there you have it.
The problem is that I know success is found in honoring God - and not in what we feel like we accomplish in life. I pray that if I continue to do my work well - serving my family and loving them - I won't be able to help but see God honored in my life.
I guess God cleans up my dirty mess on a daily basis ... so who am I to balk at cleaning up someone else's?
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'"
Matthew 25:23
