This morning, before getting on with my day, I read my Bible and spent time thanking the Lord for the world He has provided here for me to live (and work) in.  Before I got started with my chores, I asked the Lord for guidance to know which things He wanted me to attend to for the day.

Some of those things included:

• hanging clothes out to dry  (We have the luxury of a clothesline.)
• folding laundry
• dusting my bedroom
• picking red raspberries (My daughter and I picked 2 gallons today.)
• fixing steak for lunch
• planting potato peels (the eyes will grow in spots where my seed potatoes failed to come up)
• taking a walk for exercise
• repairing a children’s book my kids used for my grandchildren to use
• driving tractor to

  

  A Must-Have Tool on the Farm

  take a load of hay over to our sister and brother-in-law’s barn for storage.

My day is not over yet.  But you get the idea.   I live in the country and there is plenty to do.

Was I hilariously joyful in all of those jobs?  Not likely.  But I did ask for the Lord’s guidance and I looked for details about the tasks and that I did enjoy. 

Ask for His guidance.  Looking for details can be a treasure hunt that the Lord has in store for you.
