DIRTY DISHED, DIRTY DISHES, DIRTY DISHES!

The following is helping me tremendeously when I am thinking about the dirty dishes and other daily chores:

The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11. Please read the whole Parable of the Sower in Luke 8:1-15.

WHAT IS YOUR VISION?

Psalm 50:15

“and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” ( I am well aware of the context!)

Isaiah 65:24

“Before they call I will answer;…”
