Getting it all done

Favorite moment of the day (2010): Getting everything done that was on the to-do list!

                   “This is the day which the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”  Psalm 118:24

                  Sometimes we just need one of those days to get everything done – a day to catch up on laundry, clean the house, or run errands.  In this busy life, we often have to multitask just to make it through the day.  I know I do.  As a working mom, I don’t have time to devote a day just to paying bills, or washing clothes, or cleaning the house.  I have to do a little each day or do it on the weekends when I need to rest and relax.  But the Lord made each and every day.  We aren’t promised tomorrow.  Sometimes it’s nice to get a day where the checklist gets completely marked, but if it doesn’t, that’s alright too.  The way I see it, if God gives us tomorrow, then I have another day to get the laundry done.  If not, well, I live my life in such a way that I don’t need the laundry!  I’ll be in Heaven with my Father.  So, each day is a gift and we should use it wisely.  Instead of making sure that every item gets checked off the list, choose 2-3 most important tasks, and focus on those.  Life is too short to be stressed out over trivial things.  We should rejoice and be glad for the day, not dread it.
