The simple task of folding a load of towels is not always simple. Especially with two littles running around. Folding a load of towels, multiple times, due to the little humans knocking them over, unfolding and throwing them all over the room when I turn around for one second to grab another to fold.
During the midst of the craziness, God revealed to me a simple yet powerful lesson. Reminds me of how God must feel when He gives us a simple task and we completely mess it up. He probably feels how I do when my crazy, little humans throw my newly folded towels all over the room; yet, I try to happily (but most of the time reluctantly) pick the towels back up and refold them. God picks us back up with love and puts up back together when we do not fulfill His simple task He has given us. He forgives us and lifts us up (without the reluctant part). The Lord gives us multiple chances, even if we do not realize it at times. As I see my children attempting to help me fold a towel that has already been folded (once or twice or thrice), or throwing them around the room, it is in a similar way of how we human beings may try our best at things, and still fail. Or we may just completely mess up and throw the towel across the room. God grants us grace upon grace upon grace. So today I will refold the same load of towels multiple times. Joyfully. Because God gives me multiple chances, joyfully.

Wow! What a revelation. Love how you shared it with us. God reveals these things that may be small to someone but it truly is powerful to hear God speak to us during the simple things we do through the day. He is everywhere all the time. He can use anything to speak to us! Your writings are getting me excited! I adore how you express how the Lord speaks to you.
