This week I am thankful for my dirty dishes. As we finish up the thanksgiving season, we realize the amount of dishes that come with it. Now, usually, I would be rather put out at the fact that I have done two loads of dishes everyday for the past two weeks. However, this week I am thankful for all of them.
It's been a lot of work to clean them up and more work still to make then dirty, but each dish means that I had friends and family in my home, I had a home to have then in, and I had the friends and family to come. What a blessing it is to have family and friends at this wonderful time of year.
I am also, on the more temporal side of things, thankful for my dishwasher. Web Matt and I were first married, we lived on an apartment without one. I am so very thankful not to have to wash all my dishes by hand. We have some friends who had their dishwasher break and have been weeks without it. It just made me realize how wonderful these devices are. I have the blessing of letting the machine do the work so I can spend more direct time with my family and friends. What a blessing it is!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
