God or Mammon

What is most important to you? Is it a nice house, a car, lots of technical gadgets? Or is it knowing God? If you don't put God first in your life it will be because you don't have a right view of who he is. He is the ultimate source of all things. He is the one who demands our love. He is not like an earthly dictator who demands our love . They are fallible and fail us, he wants our love because he is perfection, he deserves our love. He knows that in loving him we will find ourselves fulfilled as in no other way. Mammon is an old fashioned word for money and things. It can never bring us fulfillment. Things may bring us short-term happiness but only loving God will bring us lasting joy. Read more about God in the link below. The God Who Does Not Change

House work

I have a friend who once said she would rather sit and look at a wall than do house work. I know how she felt. I am the world's worst housewife, particularly when it comes to washing up. Yet I feel it would be silly to get a dishwasher when there is just me here. Now you may think it very unhygienic and that I am putting myself in danger of food poisoning. However I am of the opinion that I am maintaining a very healthy immune system by exposing it to small amounts of problem material. My first husband has a fridge which hasn't seen a jay cloth in several years and he is bursting with health. My children like to say that it's Dad's fridge which has made him immortal. I do feel bad about my lack of cleaning and hoovering and tidying and I keep turning over a new leaf, but very soon more exciting things get in the way. This blog is one of them!
