I know that...Thank You everyone for your comments!!<br />I know that washing dishes by hand has really become a blessing in our home, and not to mention the dishes get done sooner!!<br /><br />Lynn- I wanted to make mention that doing laundry in our home has become a blessing also. Hopefully soon I am going to be doing a post on laundry and my journey of overcoming a stressful amount of laundry!!<br /><br />Thank You for all stopping by!!<br /><br />Coming from the Stroupe home!!Jamie Stroupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651584048559518946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-78764468665648165642009-06-10T20:19:06.078-07:002009-06-10T20:19:06.078-07:00What a sweet post :) I have recently discovered t...What a sweet post :) I have recently discovered the joys of hanging my laundry out to dry (instead of using the dryer) and I think the benefits are similar to hand washing dishes. Sometimes the simpler ways are just better.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-73362138469549027472009-06-08T18:22:38.916-07:002009-06-08T18:22:38.916-07:00I know exactly what you mean. I got rid of my dish...I know exactly what you mean. I got rid of my dishwasher a year ago for this very reason. Now we pair up and talk, laugh and play while doing dishes. It gives us a time to talk about things, if needed. I have 5 kids too and we enjoy this time together, just washing dishes. A woman told me recently that people are getting viruses and stuff more because they are NOT washing dishes as much as people used to. So I told my kids that was one more reason to do it! It can't hurt you TO wash dishes, but is just might hurt you not to.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007803621061546819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-67920489295916885352009-06-08T18:14:27.184-07:002009-06-08T18:14:27.184-07:00I have a very special post for you on my blog.

I used to HATE doing dishes with a passion (partly just because growing up with 9 siblings there's a lot of dishes) but, lately, they have really become like you said, a time to think, or talk to God, and it's really a blessing!!! :)Jivian Vudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473264110369430087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-37937743753715558372009-06-04T21:17:19.226-07:002009-06-04T21:17:19.226-07:00Jamie~

I know I have seen them at Walmart but haven't looked in awhile there so I am not sure if all stores carry it or not. I hope this helps some.<br /><br />~Warm Cozy BlessingsKeeper of the Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869598840806147967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-8610091277211596212009-06-03T18:55:17.975-07:002009-06-03T18:55:17.975-07:00Jamie,

I am sorry about that, but...I am looking into it and as soon as I find one that is economical I will try it and let you know the results & recipe. <br /><br />Thank you so much for asking though. I hope to be of more help on this in the very near future. <br /><br />I completely agree with you and Mrs. B, although it may not be a "pretty" task, it does provide satisfaction and reflection time. I especially love to stare out the window into the garden as I wash dishes. It reminds me of so many beautiful blessings that the LORD has bestowed upon us.<br /><br />~Warm Cozy BlessingsKeeper of the Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869598840806147967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-15374388709198899032009-05-28T22:25:52.011-07:002009-05-28T22:25:52.011-07:00hey jamie, this is rowdy and that is a great idea ...hey jamie, this is rowdy and that is a great idea and ask leah on sunday if i met the challengekjvbaptisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611386543745240027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531478647286267690.post-41670015756567813942009-05-28T21:46:23.091-07:002009-05-28T21:46:23.091-07:00We remodeled our kitchen last fall and EVERYONE wa...We remodeled our kitchen last fall and EVERYONE was confused as to why I didn't have a dishwasher installed.<br />My reasoning ... <br />I wanted the extra storage space; <br />When I need a few minutes alone, I can always find it at the kitchen sink; <br />If I'm having a stressful day, the Lord is right there ready to listen; <br />By the time I rinse or pre-wash the dishes for the dishwasher, I Hand washing uses less electricity and water;<br />Hand washing reminds me to stop racing through life, the kiddos grow up too fast and I want to embrace these years while I have them;<br />I could continue to list many more reasons, but I think everyone has come to the conclusion that I agree with you that hand washing dishes is a blessing, not a chore.<br />Mrs.BMrs. B, a very peculiar personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579160731517930694noreply@blogger.com
