Spending the Day with the "Porcelaine Queen"

Today was one of those days spent in my newly "organized" bathroom.  My friend, Kathy, made many a suggestion just for days like today.........ie: set up a library in there, have fluids ready to drink, have paper to write on, buy a really comfortable toilet seat, have a phone available if desired. Here is a picture of Kathy:

(thanks Kathy)

These are the kinds of places my mind  goes to on days like today........it helps remember what it is really all about, and yes........it is worth it:

Here is my thought for the day that I would like to share.  Kathy sent it to me........and I pass it on to you:

"Why is life so hard?

If it is God’s work and His glory,

why is it so hard?

Salvation is not a cheap experience

And

it was never meant to be easy.

Let us not worry about why it is so hard.

Accept difficulties.

Count it a privilege to suffer

and

be discomforted

because

in some small way

you are sharing

in

our Saviors experience."
