There is a time for everything. Last night I wanted to play after the kids went to bed. In fact, the last 2 nights I have wanted to play, just relax and read. Yet I decided to do dishes and clean up a bit. I went to bed satisfied of having accomplished something good.
Sometimes I think, I deserve LOTS of relaxing time to just get on the computer or read a book or watch a movie because I am taking care of 6 kids all by myself. But then the next day I pay for it with having to make up for all the work I didn't do.
Work is so good for everyone. "Then work and watch and fight and pray with all your might and zeal. Push every worthy work along; Put your shoulder to the wheel. Put your shoulder to the wheel; push along. Do your duty with a heart full of song. We all have work. Let no one shirk. Put your shoulder to the wheel." (Hymn 252)
I'm so glad I didn't shirk my work last night and got the dishes done and the house picked up because today at 9:45am our realtor, Jed Lowder, called to tell me an Idaho Falls realtor was bringing someone to look at the house between 11-11:30am. I couldn't have gotten the house ready as quickly as I did unless I had gotten the house clean the night before.
The Blue and Gold Banquet was tonight for Noah and the other cubscouts. I was in charge of helping the boys to perform a skit that they could pass off one of their electives. Fun night. Noah looked great!
