Whatever…

Colossians 3:23 tells us, “Whatever you do, do it as though you are working for the Lord and not for human masters…” I catch myself thinking this verse just means to do my “paying” job to the best of my ability. I shouldn’t just go to that place that I set my alarm clock for and give it 100% and then come home and be mediocre. In other words, I shouldn’t be like Ruth 8 to 5 and Jezebel evenings and weekends.

In reality, it says WHATEVER you do. It’s everything…your employment, homemaking, parenting, volunteering and yes, laundry! It’s at church and at the tattoo shop (yes, I go there). It’s if you are shopping and first in line at Wal-Mart or behind a family with six kids that only shops once a month…and brought the kids with them. It’s if you are watching a sporting event and your team is winning or if your team seems to have forgotten how to play the game. It’s if you are giving a multi-million dollar presentation for your company or you are that neat person that stands in the bathrooms and hands out towels. It’s if you are at the laundry mat or someone just treated you like a door mat. It’s whatever you are doing! I know I need this reminder!

Thankfully, God’s not eating my cooking, but He does know my heart is trying. ♥
