“…whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.”
I Corinthians 10:31
What everyday things do you find purpose in?
Boy this was a convicting one for me because I am so guilty of not doing all things to the glory of God. Though I am learning about how to invite God's glory into my daily life, I usually grumble (outloud and under my breath) about having to do the laundry, fix dinner, clean up spills, etc, when I'd rahter be writing, blogging or reading.
I'm also learning (though slowly) to be content in all things. That God has't called me to juggle a bunch of hats at once, instead He's called me to wear one at a time..It's so much easier that way! When I'm homeschooling, I wear the homeschooling hat, when I'm cooking the domestic hat, but only if it were that simple because while wearing one of the not so pretty hats, the dazzling writer's hat always catches my eye. It is then I need to remind myself to be content in all things and the time will come when I get to put on my writer's hat.
Sure sometimes I take off my others hat and place the more desireable ones on my head, but then God call me back to my purpose. To be content in wearing one hat at a time.

That is so true! And so well said! I'm guilty of wanting to don the pretty scrapbooking hat. At this point I'd have to shake the dust off! Know what I mean? :)
Hi Gine, Great post. I have done that too so many times. Wearing to many hats is not good for anyone. Thanks for sharing your wonderful input! God Bless. ~hugs~
I appreciated your post. I too related to "hats"in my post. :0) Yeah, I can see the draw to the blog hat in my life when I just want time to myself. The Lord often brings to mind the fact that my children need me. I eventually turn around but that draw can still be there, especially on hectic days or days I'm tired.
Oooh--you're right about some more dazzling hats catching my eye while I am doing some of the more ordinary things. Good thing.
