My friend Kathy was telling me the other day about something that she had read about serving God. She said alot of people feel that they always have to be out doing things at the church or special things in the community but she pointed out that everything we do we are to do unto the Lord. Everything we say and do is service to God. Taking care of our homes and families is service to God. He instructs to do so!
There is nothing at all wrong with serving at church or in the community those are wonderful things it is just that we don't need to feel badly if we can't or run ourselves ragged trying to do too much outside the home.
Just a side note about priorities. Our priorities are God first and foremost, then our husbands , then children, then our home, THEN outside activities. When we follow this formula our lives are so much better and peaceful. I find when I get the priorities out of order then nothing seems to go right, I am running all over, nothing is working out and I am unhappy and frustrated. Some ladies use God being first to justify letting their homes, husbands and children suffer while they are all over doing ministry work. If they look at the priority list then they will see that God comes first not ministry work that is last. God is first with prayers, thanksgiving, worship, Bible reading, devotional time etc. Big difference!
Happy Monday!
Blessings,
Liisa
