Bleach

I know it's a weird title but this is such a good post I had to get back on here to share it!

I have been washing my cloths and laundry by hand for a while now. And well it started to become a dread of mine. I hated taking an entire day to scrub and rinse and rinse and rinse again only to end up with cloths all stretched out and crunchy! Justin my hero noticed that I was dreading these wash days and came up with a grand idea! "Honey" he said " Why don't we budget getting our cloths washed at the laundry mat?" I of course was thrilled with the idea. We cut back on a few things and now have our cloths sent out! Praise the Lord! But it cost double to get towels and sheets done at this place so I figured I could handle those with out a tear.

So once a week I take half a day and scrub my sheets and towels and it's become a joy for me. I feel productive and helpful! I turn my music up and scrub away.

Well while on our furlow i bought some bar rags and white wash cloths at Costco. I love white towels! Not sure why, but I do. The hard part about owning such beautiful things is that they don't tend to stay that white. I also bought two super cute white tops at GAP and after sending them out to be washed they started to come back dingy looking. well I decided I needed some BLEACH! Yes I needed my whites whiter!

I scrubbed as usual but this time I soaked my white towels and tops in bleach and WOW what a difference! I was amazed! My towels looked brand new and my tops were no longer raggedy looking!

It made me think of my life and my sins. They too dirty my heart my mind and make me dingy. Then I thought about how God's Son's Blood works a lot like bleach. It makes us clean again, spotless, and bright! I am so glad I have bleach to take care of my laundry and have not the words to show how grateful I am to God for sending His Son to cleanse me from all my unrighteousness!

I have also found this little smiley face good company as I work. It was placed there by the previous tenant's helper most likely. I do my laundry in the maids quarters where some poor girl worked very hard and put this cute little sticker up to hlep her get though the day. I am glad it is there to cheer me up and make me smile!
