Let God Shine Through

Yesterday...
I decided I was sick of doing things to please others
to make others happy
I decided if I was going to do anything, if I was going to work hard,
I was going to do it for God and God alone.
I annouced that to my friends as I was venting about the troubles and pressures of the home
and they liked that but they tossed in the doing it also for myself.
Maybe make me feel like I accomplished something.
A job well done.
I agree with that
But I feel that I need to put God first in all my jobs.
Whether the mediocre cleaning of the floor, or sweeping of the porch
or all the way to helping feed the hungry.
I need to put God first in everything.
If I don't then my head is going to swell up.
So I did that I cleaned the floor, I swept the porch, I cleaned the windows,
so God's glory could shine through. Where the is dirt and must, He is not.
I did it with love, love for Him, love for myself because I just was getting tired of not doing anything, and love for my family. LOVE!!!
