I didn't like it that much in the winter, but the summer was great! I'd have a day where I'd do laundry all day. We didn't have electricity or devices, so I wasn't able to listen to music or such. But my thoughts! It was time to think about all sorts of things, I'd have a blast washing barefoot with puddles of water everywhere, and then hanging the laundry out beautifully with the fresh wind! I also wrote a lot of poetry during my laundry days. I'd think up lines in my head and when I had a short break would grab a notebook I brought out with me and write them all down. I really loved those times :)Keturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-3519277022982481562017-07-15T09:47:37.256-04:002017-07-15T09:47:37.256-04:00This post was very encouraging - thank you!

I worked at a children's home in Bolivia, and laundry was my specialty. I was in charge of it, and anyone else who helped, worked under me. I was the one who knew which piece belonged to all 20+ people (including frequent visitors). It was a huge job and sometimes I got tired of it. But more consistently than not, I loved my responsibility & never regretted allll the hours I poured into it. It was to me an awesome way to be part of everyone's lives, and my time wasn't wasted. Also, in a setting where I didn't get my quiet time, my laundry space was my favorite thinking/meditating/prayer time. <br /><br />All that to say, I support this series and can't wait to hear what else you have to say! Blessings! I rarely comment on your blog, but its one of a few blogs I read, and I've been following for years. Thanks SO much & bless your heart for all you put into this! Its a great inspiration to me! -GwenGwen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294777153268863953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-67491424629736346452017-07-13T20:24:48.757-04:002017-07-13T20:24:48.757-04:00This is so good, Chels!!

I think I tend to look at laundry as a necessary evil that just has to be done. I do like to listen to music while I am folding clothes and your family's cd Time for Truth is always first pick!! I love all the songs on there and I have memorized most of them so I love to sing along!

I'll have to check out your podcast recommendations... some I like are Radical & (Moth Radio Hour *with discretion). <br />Also, if you need to talk to someone on the phone, a speaker phone/headset are so handy to let your hands stay busy! <br /> And music is a wonderful way to get you motivated... including your family's peppy tunes! =) ~laura<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-8124411972532418502017-07-12T19:23:29.063-04:002017-07-12T19:23:29.063-04:00I just love this!!
