Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes,
we have good food to eat.
Thank you for this pile of dirty clothes,
we have nice clothes to wear.
I'd like to thank you for these unmade beds,
they were all comfortable last night.
And thanks for the bathroom, complete with
splattered mirror, soggy towels, and grimy
lavatory, its still very convenient.
Thank you for the finger-smuged refrigerator that
needs defrosting so badly, it has served us
faithfully for a long time and inside are cool drinks
needs defrosting so badly, it has served us
and enough leftovers for another meal.
Thank you for this oven that absolutely must be
cleaned today, it has baked us many good
things over the years.
Our whole family is gratefull for that tall grass that
needs mowing; we all enjoy our private yard.
Thank you for that slamming screen door -
the children are healthy and able to run and play.
Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me
says that You have richly blessed this family.
I shall do them all cheerfully - and gratefully.
And, Lord, I just want to praise You for Your love and
blessings and I'll see You in church Sunday!
I want to praise You!
