Word: Laundry
Go.....
I love laundry. Yes, I do. I love laundry products. They make me happy. I love getting stains out, making things look new again. I love how perfect everything is coming out of the dryer. Perfect. New. Beautiful. No wrinkles or stains or blemishes. Smelling beautiful. Then life happens. The laundry gets used and tossed aside and stepped on and wadded up and really, really dirty. But then the mom comes back around and gathers up all the not so lovely anymore...and she sorts and treats and searches out hidden ugliness and places all the worn and weary laundry in the wash where it comes clean yet again but it's still heavy with things that are remnant of the bath. So it goes in the dryer with the sheet of sweet smells that rub up against everything as it tosses about, helping it to release what is left behind from the cleaning and allows it the freedom to return to what it was made to be. Kind of how God handles me. Thankful.
Stop.

Yep! Wash rinse repeat! Love to you!
DeleteGirl, I knew we were meant to be friends...I completely heart doing laundry. Though I'll never argue if hubby does it, (which happens about once a year...) I honestly enjoy it. And a confession? Sometimes I just want to dive right into a basket of laundry that I've just pulled out of the dryer and bury myself under the warmth. Doesn't that sound fun?! :) Blessings, sweet friend...hope your weekend is a beautiful one! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the towels best :) The warmth of that always brings a smile! I love it too. Something about the smells and the warmth and the newness always makes me feel settled and thankful that I have laundry because I have people to love. Happy Sunday sweet friend!!
