Ok, so lately I have been washing dishes by hand, and I have realized how much it can do for the family. I wanted to do a little post on " While Washing Dishes "....
While washing dishes I like to think about my day!!
While washing dishes it gives me an opportunity to talk, laugh, and hang out with Gage!!
While washing dishes it teaches my daughters how to become a good keeper of the home!!
While washing dishes I can homeschool!!
While washing dishes my children and I play the whistling game!!
While washing dishes the children and I sing, while Daddy and the little ones dance!!
While washing dishes it gives me a chance to be a blessing and a good testimony to my children!!
While washing dishes I get to hear what is on Gages mind!!
While washing dishes I can Pray, Sing, and just talk to the Lord.
I remember when I use to get so disgusted when my dishwasher went out..... but now that the kids are older, I am enjoying it so much that I am still washing dishes by hand and the dishwasher is working just fine.
Tonight, after supper the 2 older children and I were working together and doing after supper clean up. While I was washing, Gage was drying and putting away. I realized just how wonderful that this little thing that I use to dislike so much, has become such a blessing, and fun time for my family.
There was nothing better than whistling a song to see which family member can guess the right tune!!
My challenge to you before you go to put that dish in the dishwasher, grab a child and spend some time with them, play a game, or just ask them what is on their mind. If you don't have any children, take a moment and spend that time with God, Pray, sing, or talk to him like he is your best friend standing right next to you. I know that washing dishes has become a blessing to the Stroupe home!!
Loving Winter!
