MY WORD FOR JUNE 26 IS VACUUM!


 My word for June 26th is VACUUM

I vacuum every other day.  Since I have a dog that sheds, the hair drives me crazy.  I vacuum everywhere, under everything and around everything.  I will even vacuum the furniture.  My vacuum has all those different attachments, one for floors, one for small areas that are hard to reach, one for furniture, one for blinds, and one for carpet.  I use all of them.   I haven’t been able to vacuum for a week, so I called Go Momma today and asked her if she could come out and help me.  She is a vacuum freak also; she vacuums as much as I do.  While she vacuumed I dusted, cleaned the bathroom, and washed all the laundry.  There isn’t anything better than clean floors, a clean bathroom, clean sheets, and clean laundry.  I am ready for the week. 

It is not just time to vacuum our homes, but to vacuum out of our lives.  Some of the dirt is visible to the human eye.  This dirt is vacuumed up easily, just one swipe of the vacuum wand and up it goes.  Then there is the dirt that you can’t see.  Those dust mites on the furniture, the hair that blends in to the floor, or the dirt hidden underneath those hard to reach places.  The utensils may have to be changed from one to the other to suck up this mess.  What a sucktacular time vacuuming up the dirt that leaves our lives in disarray.   

We need to be rid of the filth seen or unseen.  To be healthy it is important to clean around us.  The filth in our lives can weigh us down, trap us, or even make us sick.  Through cleansing our surroundings, we are better able to do what God wants us to do.  The cleaner our lives are the smoother our lives will be.  It is a vital part of staying healthy to get rid of the dirt.  Cleaning the dirt means to rid your mind of sadness, guilt, anger, resentment, dissatisfaction, the past and any other negative aspects that hold us back.  God doesn’t want anything to hold us back from fulfilling His plan for us.  Plug in your vacuum and get to work. 

Put freshener in your vacuum bag and clean the air.  Remove all the dirt and dust particles and find a fresh life with God. Vacuum the filth from your life, become fresh and clean. 

Dear Lord help us clean out our filth, removing the dust and debris from our lives.  We want your presence in our lives and in our homes helping us to maintain cleanliness.  Open our eyes to see what is filth.  With You our lives will be clean.  During 2012 we promise to remove the filth and live a clean life for You.

1 Peter 5:7 
Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you.
