"We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything; wherever He puts us our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work." ~ Oswald Chambers
To read these words is always timely for me! As a mom who has been home full-time for a long time, there are stretches of time when the daily grind can get rather monotonous boring repetitious worthless fill-in-the-blankous. And my attitude about things can get rather, um, indifferent.
And yet.
And yet THIS is WHERE God has placed me no matter what *I* may think on a given day. He created and designed everything in the universe, so who am *I* to question where He engineered me to be or what job He engineered me to do?
My one great aim on a daily basis should be to put my whole-hearted effort into this particular job....MOM....and to do it with a PASSION because of my devotion to Him.
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might....." ~ Ecclesiastes 9:10a
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men..." ~ Colossians 3:23
Pretty simple, eh?
Now go and DO IT in YOUR garden!

1 Your glimpses:
It's simple, yes.
But often hard to do.
May we find joy in resting in where God has put us to work.
~Luke
