The Good News Today Is...I finally have time to do some cleaning this morning. Did you know that house cleaning can become a time of spiritual cleaning and uplifting? What better time to take to sing great praise songs than when the vacuum cleaner is running and no one can hear how off key you are? What better time to think about the hard stuff in life than when you're scrubbing the heck out of the bathtub? What better time to pray than while dusting the cobwebs out of the corner? (And I don't mean - "Dear God! How did this house get so dirty?") I used to hate cleaning and dreaded getting up in the morning to face the dust bunnies and dog hair in the corner. Now I sing and pray my way through and before I know it the dirt is gone and I'm still happy. Using the bath tub as a place to do a little anger therapy works wonders, too! I can go about the rest of my week-end in a renewed state. I'll never be a great housekeeper, I always find some excuses not to get the house too clean....I might be just a bit like Maxine....but I don't dread it any more either.
