Happy Monday~ It is s rainy one here at Farming On Faith. I am ever so thankful. I have been praying for God to fill my pond. The drought in Missouri has taken it's toll. My poor fish need some water.
There is nothing worse for a "recovering perfectionist" than keeping a house picture perfect. I never feel like it is quite good enough so I drive myself crazy to no end~ well and everyone around me too.
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psalms 138:8
I tend to be too "cranky" with myself and others when I get in my "gotta be perfect mode." I tend to set my expectations too high for myself and others at times as if maybe we should be toting angel's wings or something. Perfection is a strict task master who offers no free lunch let alone a recess break.
I am a clean freak ~ you can ask my kids. To a fault~ at times driving my family crazy. Things in life ~ even a house are going to be less than perfect. There is going to be dust and those floors I waxed today will need cleaned tomorrow. It is just life.
We live in a fallen world and I am always going to be less than what I hoped for at some level until I meet the Perfect One. That is why Christ made a provision for our imperfection when He died on the cross to take away our sin.
One day we will all be as He is ~ perfect. But until then may we continue to forgive ourselves, forgive others and let go ~ not of goals ~ but of perfection.
Have a blessed Monday~
