Idleness

How was I displaying virtue I was displaying it by being grateful to my parents, not getting upset with them, by holding my tongue and by only being a Godly mother and wife to the 4 most important people in my life. I have tried my best to not get upset or frustrated. I did succeed but not in every minute of everyday. I have only 4 days or so left on Proverbs 31 but I will be continuing this journey and this blog as I continue on a journey through the bible about being a Godly and virtuous wife and mother.I will not give up on this journey just because Proverbs is over. Please pray with me as I am work towards becoming virtuous.

To be honest everyone who does not suffer from laziness or idleness? I know it is a struggle of mine. I say "Hey I am to tired, or I'll get to that tomorrow." Then I never do. Laziness is something that I struggle with that is why there is currently a mountain of about 6 or so loads of laundry in my bedroom ready to be folded and separated and put away, but I just keep putting it off and putting it off. I know it needs done, but I don't want to do it, So I let the mountain get bigger until I Literally cannot stand it any more and to be honest I am at that point.I have to admit before starting this study I was also being idle in my relationship with God. I need to work on not being idle and laziness.

Proverbs 31:27

She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

I know I can be idle in my relationship with God. I can be idle as a mother and wife as well. I don't want that. Idleness can tear things apart. I can be a wife and mother but be going through the motions but I don't want that anymore. I just want a relationship with God a true relationship. I want to be a good mom, and wife not just going through the motions of it. I am working at that everyday. I want to do everything with purpose I want to do everything with joy and God has shown me why it is important that I do this. That no matter what I am doing do it on purpose and with joy.

Prayer

Lord help me to not idle or be lazy. Lord help me to find purpose and joy in everything I do and to show my children that idleness is not the way God wants us to do things. Help me to do everything in a virtuous way. Let me show your love in everything I do. AMEN
