I hope you are taking time to renew your relationship with the Lord. If you are one of the ones lucky enough to be receiving the sunshine this week, I would suggest sitting out in the sun as you worship the Lord.
As you are refreshing your health and soul, we might as well refresh our homes. I hope your are cleaning out the kitchen and giving it a good wipe down. You will be amazed about the difference freshly wiped cabinet doors and baseboards can make. But sometimes you want just a little more refreshing.
I am on a strict budget. I cannot just buy to buy. But you do not have to spend a lot to refresh your kitchen a little more. For $5-$10 you can buy some fun Spring hand towels and/or potted flowers for the kitchen or table. A few bucks can bring new life to your kitchen and table. You can even try the Dollar Tree. I bought cute bamboo placemats one time there. And they were just a dollar.
And as we start this time of renewal and refreshing, maybe it is time we start living like life is good even on the worst of days. Our lives and our homes need to start reflecting God's goodness. Why not even choose to let our lives and homes reflect the joy of the Lord?
God has blessed me and He has blessed you. Even if the last thing Christ did for you was die on the cross, well then, you are still abundantly blessed. (But you know God has done much more.)
Will you choose to start reflecting the goodness and joy of the Lord? Will you choose just for a month to give it a shot? I would encourage you to keep a journal about the difference it makes in your life. I will warn you, the enemy will try to tear you down. But I know you can stand firm and choose to find joy and goodness in the Lord.
