THOUGHTS

A repost from 2014
I must admit that his mother is a fastidious housekeeper. Nothing ever looks out of place, even with three children under ten. However, I am not fast nor am I anxious to tackle the tedious. How about you? Are you fast at the tedious, or like me a plodder? However, I raised my daughters to be better housekeepers than me. I think I forgot everything I taught them.
My three year old grandson is better at his new fascination, puzzles, than I am. When it comes to technology, we have to call in the reinforcements to tackle thinks like hooking up our printer with our new laptop and many other things. I don't understand why it takes two remotes to even turn on the T.V. When do I point them up and when do I point them down? It makes me long for the days of foil on the rabbit ears. I am a S L O W learner. We need one of those streets signs that says, "Caution, slow grandma at play."
Unlike one of my daughters who looked up on line, followed instructions and fixed the plug in her own dishwasher, we called a repair man. A very handy man came and fixed our dishwasher because it wasn't draining. There was a hard to find plug that turns out to be a stupid tiny flap somebody came up with whose sole purpose was to prevent plugs: a faulty invention.
I may not be a fast learner, but even old dogs can learn new tricks. But right now I think I'll circle three times and lie down. Those who made my house messy wore me out! Yet I keep thinking about that faulty plug flap that looked a little like the valve in a heart. I recently watched the echo-cardiogram on the screen showing my son's heart hard at work. He has a heart issue we have to keep checking on. Sometimes his beats too fast. Whether I operate on a slow beat, or as some do, at a fast beat, it is so important to keep a clean heart before God.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me."
Psalm 139:23-24
