Here I am posting twice in one day! Can you say procrastination? :) My house needs to be cleaned, we were away for a couple of days...and the house shows, Christmas Concert time is here and all that comes with it. A while ago, I bought this e-book
31 Days to Clean and it has been amazing in our home. It can be really easy to not have
time to clean my house, but the way that Sarah Mae writes helps make it a little easier, and doesn't make you feel awful about yourself if you get a little behind. You can take cleaning your own pace, but really feel great when you see what you've accomplished, I know I do anyway! Some of those things I just don't remember on a daily basis are put in throughout the 31 days. I highly recommend this book to anyone who might need that little encouragement with cleaning, and with having a "Martha home, the Mary way." She challenges the heart as well as helping organize the home. The great thing is it doesn't have to end in 31 days, you can do it over. I know when I did it, it was longer than 31 days, since I took it at my own pace.
Luke 10:38-42 shares the story,
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
It is important to keep our house in order, but so much more important to spend time with Jesus :)
