Day 42 Of Writing:

                                                              Everyday is a brand new day, everyday is a journey. 




Just where you stand in the conflict,
There is your place!
Just where you think you are useless,
Hide not your face!
God placed you there for a purpose,
What e'er it be;
Think you he has chosen you for it:
Work loyally.

"Isn't it amazing what you learn to live with around the house?"

Oh yes, until someone plans to visit. Of course, it does depend on who it is that is visiting. It could be that relative that lives in a magazine worthy home. They see everything and might tell everyone. Suddenly, everything seems out of place and outdated. We scrub from top to bottom, from morning until night. We scream at our family to stop messing up the house.

Yet, when our dearest and closest come, they don't seem to care. They are just as comfortable in these surroundings as we are. That door that doesn't close all the way doesn't bother anyone. The threadbare rug in the hallway is just a sign of many friends that came through. If that bathroom isn't quite as clean to the eye as it should be, well, they won't say anything.


I think we become very comfortable in our surroundings over time. It really doesn't matter where we are living as long as we have our treasures with us. I have a comfy chair and it doesn't look very new at all. In fact, it's a bit rough around the edges. The legs have scratches on them. Yet, it's so comfortable, cozy and all mine.

So yes, we can learn to live with many things being a certain way. Not every home needs to be perfect in every corner and in every way. It's just perfect for you.

Have a blessed day everyone.
