I had another friend on FB who said that hanging out laundry was her chore growing up, and she would never wish to do that again! And trying to live your life God's way? Well, that can't be beat!<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-25140351732688658662020-06-06T13:15:21.284-07:002020-06-06T13:15:21.284-07:00Oh, Martha, I love this!

As a young girl, it was mine and my older sister’s job to hang out the weekly laundry. Heaven forbid that we should hang a towel or pair of underwear out of sync. I have had the honor of taking down an entire line if I felt brave enough to try mixing things up. I simply cracked up laughing when I read this. It is my opinion that the automatic washer and dryer is a wonderful invention. No more clotheslines for this girl. I did the hanging of her laundry her way. I also try to live my life God’s way. Thanks so much for sharing.

What a wonderful observation you've made here, Kim! When we read the works of beloved authors, we can only imagine the life experience they've had to produce those works, but with God, everything is laid out on the table, whether we understand it at the time or not. When we engage in daily reading, we certainly need to invite the Lord into our hearts that He might give us clarity and eternal meaning.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-20724128044307610052020-06-02T17:15:06.348-07:002020-06-02T17:15:06.348-07:00Isn't it amazing, Nells, that God's Word i...Isn't it amazing, Nells, that God's Word is "new every morning?"
