Making Your Home a Haven - Day 4 - Cleaning the Bathrooms

Good morning! My day got off with a good reading and some blogging. How about yours?

1) Refresh your spirit:
Today I read my Thursday reading of “Light of The World” in Praying the Names of Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-16 (NASB):
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Philippians 2:14-16 (NASB):
14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing;
15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,
16holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

These are the verses that I will be meditating on today, as I go about my day, looking to Him to guide my path.

2) Take Time to Plan
I work today, so my planning will be centered around that.

  • Work
  • Buy dishwasher detergent that I forgot at the grocery store yesterday
  • Pick up the living room
  • Finish my last load of laundry from yesterday
  • Do one load of laundry from today
  • Pay bills
  • Buy that last gift for Christmas
  • Make the returns that need made
  • Clean the bathroom

For dinner tonight we are having Cube Steak and Mac & Cheese. I know it is not a “fancy” dinner, but Hubby loves it, and that is what matters.

3) Do Something!
Today’s “Do Something!” is to maintain the rooms we have cleaned and to clean the bathrooms. I will just be able to pick up the bathrooms and clean the toilet in the boys bathroom. I am not sure I will have time to do the rest of the bathrooms, but I will certainly try.

I will not be home most of the day to mark things off the list as I finish them. I will update this when I get the chance.

God bless you all and have a great day, making your home a haven for your family. Stop by and see Crystal for more details on this challenge.
