Topic: My Dream Job

Today’s Reading
Proverbs 3:5-8
Thought for the Day
In difficult moments, I will give thanks for God’s blessings.
In all your ways acknowledge [the Lord], and he will make straight your paths. – Proverbs 3:6 (NRSVUE)
A family member once asked me to describe my dream job. I was a sixth-grade teacher at the time, but my honest answer was “to become a mother.” I now have that job, but there are moments when it doesn’t feel like the dream. When family members are tired and cranky, when loads of laundry pile up and multiple errands must be run, it becomes easy to lose sight of the blessings.
During these times, I must acknowledge God’s presence in my life, refocus, and remind myself how truly blessed I am — doing just what my heart desired. It is a privilege to take care of those I love day by day.
Therefore, when our sink is filled with dishes and laundry baskets are full, I am thankful for food to eat and clothes to wear. When my house needs a thorough cleaning, I am grateful for the lives that move within it each day. As I clean up after pets or pull weeds in the garden, I become aware of the beauty of God’s creation. When I am completely exhausted, what a blessing it is to end a long day by snuggling my sweet son as he falls asleep and talking with my husband in the quiet of the evening! In the midst of life’s busyness and day-to-day tasks, let’s remember God’s many gifts to us.
Today’s Prayer
Dear God, when we feel worn down, help us to be grateful and to see each task we do as a gift from you. Amen.
