Forget "Spring" Cleaning... I have bypassed that.. I have moved on to summer, fall, and winter. Problem is- it will not last that long! And boy, do I get mad when I spend all this time cleaning and my kids come right back behind me and mess it all up. It takes so long to get everything looking so nice and how quickly it gets messed up again.
I mean my house looks GREAT! I have thrown out all the JUNK (and there was lots of it), steam cleaned carpets, cleaned windows- everything looks sparkly and clean. Addison says our house looks new... what a great accomplishment. =)
So this gets me to thinking: Is this how God feels- we get all clean and new- "Sparkly" (And it takes us FOREVER) and then we go mess it all up with our sin and it takes us FOREVER (with our stubborn ways) to clean up our messes again and get sparkly clean.
It's such a great thing that He is so forgiving. He doesn't get mad at my messes and He even helps me clean them up even though I keep making them over and over again. The cleaning will never stop- it is an ongoing process. But I'll take clean over dirty ANY DAY!!!
