Laziness ...
If you don’t think laziness is a problem in America,
Consider the fact that we have a chair, the “Laz-e-boy,”
Tailored for and marketed to the American home.
And it sells!
Laziness, much like selfishness, is bent toward the self,
But it gets its marching orders from the comfort committee.
We desire the comfort and refuse to do anything difficult because it could be uncomfortable.
Laziness is chiefly about preserving and promoting the perception of personal comfort.
And laziness becomes a lie to yourself and others!
What has been something you have had a few nudges to accomplish?,
But still have not moved in that direction.
We should know when there is a problem in our marriages and our homes,
And we should also know that it requires a change, perhaps even a painful change.
So what happens?
Laziness say's,
“Oh, I’ll get to this another time.”
Or laziness says convincingly, “It’s not that bad.
Waiting for later can result in a broken marriage!
Or
Your home turning into a broken down shack!
Laziness is a terrible crisis in our culture!
Years ago, there were so many that kept their homes clean!
Planted flowers and trees in their yards!
Painted and reused their furniture!
Made curtains from flour sacks for the windows.
They would even sweep their front porches.
We have so much more to use as resources,
But, So many homes are looking more unloved and not cared for!
If you do not think this is true, take a drive through your town.
Time and energy is a gift from the Lord!
Get busy and deep clean your homes!
Even if you start with one room at a time...
Get busy and give some attention to your marriage!
Marriage is always in need of attention
Making time for one another,
Laughing together,
Good food and making time to sup together!
Laziness can be so easily taken care of by just doing something every day!
Get busy and clean up your homes and yards!
Do not be like the slugger, or sloth!
Work and use your time wisely...
Your marriage and homes are worth all the effort you can put into them daily!
Working is what is required of each of us;
Carry your own load!
Trust me, I can get tired easily as I have aged, and as we have all experienced health issues,
Also, having young children at home, financial troubles.
But we must push through and get a handle on these things!
Learn to manage your time...
Look good. Smell good, work hard, pray hard
That is how we become more valuable than rubies.
As Always, Living From glory To Glory
Love, Roxy
