Ha! ,or me doing dishes as a child for many occasions! I loved to do the dishes! Ha!! Many memories of bathing our grandson in a beautiful cast iron Kohler cornflower blue sink full of bubbles and toys! He would play for hours ! Filling measuring cups and filling pots !Such sweet memories ! He is now 22 and in college! Ha! Where do the years go! And now looking out on our farm over the sink at the farmhouse and treasure all Gods many blessings !

I have two daughters who do much of the washing but I find that I'm in the kitchen a lot, and looking out the window I have above my work counter is a wonderful place to pray and consider my home and all those I love. It is wonderful to have special places in our homes where we serve our families and spend time with the Lord. God is good! Thanks for your encouragement!<br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117758083302493088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-87920748636181128012017-04-15T02:05:04.342-06:002017-04-15T02:05:04.342-06:00I'm a great grandmother who is caring for two ...I'm a great grandmother who is caring for two little ones again. Since taking on the children I run from task to task just trying to get things done before he next cup of spilt milk, or glob of playdough on the floor or quieting the next squabble between the children. It never entered my mind that I might be too old to do this. When the Lord allows challenges like this in your life, you never give it a thought, but out of love and obedience accept the challenge.<br />I know the Lord will provide for me, and am encouraged by your quiet spot. Am praying I will find mine also.<br />Thank you for sharing Roxy.<br />JanetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-50214071103490502112017-04-14T19:04:41.784-06:002017-04-14T19:04:41.784-06:00How many hours and hours have we all spent at our ...How many hours and hours have we all spent at our kitchen sinks?

My favorite places are my old blue wing back chair in the bedroom, the big swing in the backyard, and my kitchen sink, as well, where I look out at the pool and listen to the bubbling of the water. It is good to live in the moment, in a state of gratefulness to God!

I ha...I really like this secret place you describe. I have seen many homes that do not have a window above the sink and I say to myself "no, not for me!" I need that window. I am going to turn things around a bit and look at it from another perspective....I remember being a child and even later on as a young woman and being outside the house I grew up in. There was a peace that came over me that I barely can even put into words... looking at that kitchen window and seeing my mom standing there, doing what she did so often. It's a beautiful memory. Thank you for stirring it up!

I have also found washing dishes daily to be so comforting, it seems as I slip my hands into the hot soapy water I can feel the tensions of the day melt away. I also like to think about and pray for my family when doing the dishes.<br /><br />I had never thought of it as being a secret place, but love that thought.<br /><br />Have a Happy Easter!<br />Joyfully, CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833657269211285589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-12680564342582735722017-04-13T11:48:25.627-06:002017-04-13T11:48:25.627-06:00Lovely post.

That means there was good food cooked and most likely good conversations around the table. I always found my children shared quite a bit on their thoughts sitting around the table. Washing dishes gives us a good chance to pray. Thanks for the reminder!<br />Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-68191800952198006132017-04-13T07:59:03.384-06:002017-04-13T07:59:03.384-06:00Such a wonderful picture you painted for us today.... Such a wonderful picture you painted for us today. Peace and contentment at the kitchen sink. I'm always in a hurry to get the dishes done so I can get back to whatever I was doing before.
