♕ Today's Promise: “Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.” Colossians 3:23-25

I went on the Internet to find out how I could get a very old pet stain out of a carpet. After He had led me to a home-made solution I realized that I needed to use a spray bottle to spray the solution on the stain. A couple of weeks before He had led me to make up a solution to clean the kitchen cupboard doors with and that came out beautifully but I did not have an extra bottle to use. I asked my HL (Heavenly Love) again what should I do. I do not have an extra bottle.
That same morning there was a couple of cool drink bottles that I had wanted to throw away but something stopped me 🙂 As He guided me I made up the solution and poured it in one of the cool drink bottles. But I still had the dilemma that I could not spray the solution when He told me to try the spray part of the spray bottle onto the top of the cool drink bottle, and it fit!
So now I am able to have different solutions in different cooldrink bottles for eg. the cupboards, or the stain and I also have the original spray bottle that contains water that I use on my air plants...I just make sure the straw is clean before I use it to spray my plants. Ladies this lesson was a recap of something I read while translating the workers@home book. Erin always says to "Ask God first" He is just so amazing to help with the mundane tasks. Well it is a work in progress but the stain in the carpet is lifting slowly. Praise to God for His infinite wisdom.
If you have not read the Workers@Home book please do so, it is packed full of absolute awesome tips on cooking, housekeeping and of course how we must always consult our HL (HeavenlyLove) on anything and everything. You know I just LOVE the way He guides me with the cleaning of the house, especially when I don't feel like doing something specific. Like cleaning windows. Because I used to have to do it as a child...aaaaargh but today I knew I had to clean them i.e. the windows on the French Doors, cause I could hardly see through them 🙂 It was a cloudy day and a little cold so I really did not FEEL like doing it, but He reminded me that cloudy days are the best days because the sun generally dries the windows too quickly which leaves streaks. Well I did it with so much ease today and they came out better then they had ever before! Thank You my HL (Heavenly Love) that I have a home to clean, I am so grateful.

I can only say what a feeling of utter joy it is when I have done something small like cleaning up and I feel such a feeling of accomplishment, it's priceless. Especially when He has been guiding you.
