Whatever We Do

I've titled this blog "Whatever We Do" in reference to Colossians 3:17, which says:

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

As women, we find ourselves doing lots of things in a day. My days involve things like changing dirty diapers, pumping, washing bottles over and over again, rocking my baby to sleep, talking to a stressed friend on the phone about her marriage troubles, texting my husband love notes (or screaming baby updates...) and this is just the morning!

The Bible- God's message to us- says that all of these things can be done for Jesus- for the glory of His name! And not only should we do them with Jesus in mind- but we should be thankful to God for the opportunity to do them! Ponder that for a moment. Does that change the way you think about the things that you do?

I've told you a little bit about what my days look like. How about you? What are some tasks that are easy to be mindful of Jesus and thankful to God for and others where it's not so easy? Comments welcome! : )

Me-

Easy: When I pray over baby Caleb.

Hard: Washing dirty dinner dishes and bottles after a loooong day.
