Gratitude #14. Running water.
Yes I hate doing dishes. Yes I hate doing laundry. I would say most women do. It is pretty dang satisfying to see your kitchen sparkling with clean dishes in the cupboards though. And who doesn't feel triumphant when the mountains of clothing are conquered!? During this week of sickness and many other moments in my recent years as a mom I have been ever so thankful for running water. How blessed I am to just turn on my faucets and have warm and cold water year round! I don't have to make s fire and heat water to bath my children, or to wash clothes or dishes or cook with. I can just get a drink of water whenever I want one. That is amazing and something some people in this world live without. So on those days I complain about all the cleaning I've got to do I try to pause and think....you've got running water Carolyn!!!! Wow!!!! There really are so many things to be grateful for in this life.
