This morning brought me to an unexpected joy in a chore that I usually take for granted.
I realized that I love to wash the dishes by hand (I am still thankful for my dishwasher though)! I can look out the window in front of me and watch the bustle of farm life and pray and sing and it is so much fun!
This morning I was blessed to see the beautiful synchronization that can take place with any good team. Josiah on the scraping tractor, Jeremy in the skid-steer, Grandpa on the tractor hauling out the frozen manure and snow from the open barnyard. Everyone doing their part to clean up after Tuesday's snow. It was a beautiful picture. I was thankful to have such a view and be reminded of the wonderful people who work here on the farm. Unity is always a lovely picture.
And it also takes me back to my days working in the kitchen at Black Rock, washing multitudes of dishes in the sink, only to take them back to run through the industrial dishwasher. Those were the good old days! I do miss that sometimes. But I never had as good of a view when I washed dishes as I do now. Every one should have a good view while washing the dishes.
And the warm water with all those bubbles, it's refreshing and cozy on a cold day. The bubbles remind me of bubble fights I had with my roommates at college. Where we would end up on the floor laughing so hard.
Thank you Lord for good memories and gratitude today.
