My Favorite Cleaning Tip

I’m sure many of us mothers and wives do the same thing. We’re constantly picking up; bringing order, or wiping something up or wiping something off. Like Marci says in the above article – most of these things take less than five minutes, but it can give you a satisfied feeling when you are keeping your home in order.

This article at Thankful Homemaker gave words to something I’ve always done. “If it bothers you, clean it.”

I’m sure many of us mothers and wives do the same thing. We’re constantly picking up; bringing order, or wiping something up or wiping something off. Like Marci says in the above article – most of these things take less than five minutes, but it can give you a satisfied feeling when you are keeping your home in order.

It’s an excellent way to redeem the time – it’s amazing what we can accomplish while the coffee is brewing or the washer finishes spinning.

God’s Word has something to say about doing it too. As you see in these verses, God’s plan is for us to read His Word, listen to it, and then do it.

Deuteronomy  5:27 ESV – Go near and hear all that the LORD our God will say, and speak to us all that the LORD our God will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.

Deuteronomy 30:14 ESV – But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

So, what has the Lord said to you? How quickly are you responding? How are you keeping your spiritual home in order?

I want to share some thought provoking posts I’ve read recently:

    Oh yes, I totally agree with redeeming those little minutes and using them wisely. I can accomplish a lot during a commercial break if I’m watching t.v., lol! I figure I can sit around and let something bother me or I can take a few moments (or more) and take care of it!

    Thanks so much for linking up to the “Making Your Home Sing Monday” linky party today! 🙂

      I think we mom’s get used to scanning a room and doing those little things without giving it much thought.
