I love it when God takes the ordinary and shows us extraordinary. Spilled vegies, or a personalized lesson from your Maker. Hmmm. I'm going with the personalized lesson.
He doesn't waste a thing!
Good for you, for having eyes to see!

Great words! Isn't it amazing the situations that bring us to our knees when we least expect it? God does work in wonderful ways!! Blessings, Jill

Touched, blessed, inspired, not to clean my kitchen floors, but to look at my life through His eyes.

You blessed me tonight. May the Lord bless you back in abundance!

Oh how I've learned this. We have a washer that regularly floods the laundry room, despite best preventative efforts. God has a way of timing it when I most need some reflective time on my knees. Go figure!

What a good reminder about the importance of kneeling. And by the way, I think we can all use a little more time on our knees!

That has so much truth in it Julie. Me and my husband went through this late last week. God revived our marriage that as just days from being broken.

Looks like you knocked it out of the ballpark, huh Julie? Talk about positive reinforcement. Great post, and a great response. Kudos to you!

Most excellent! We all need a little kneeling to humble ourselves before God.

You're always so good at looking for those "teachable moments" throughout the day. :)

What a great post! I need to mop my floor today. When I'm down on my knees scrubbing those extra stubborn spots, I'll be thinking about this post...and my need to clean up my heart as well.

Wow that's all I can say...Awesome post!

Hi Julie,

I loved this post. It really hits home with me as I seek God's direction on holiness. Timely read for me!

Hey, come by my blog to see why your feet are lovely.

2009-08-17T01:48:36.584-04:00

love the lesson! I need to do both get on my knees and clean my kitchen floor. Things can look great until we get up close, can't they?

Great post. Wonderful idea. Bonita is correct. It would make a very good devotional.

Julie,
I love how you've packed so much into a relatively short post. Every word sings.

I agree when we stop breezing past, covering up and ignoring the details of our lives we really see our messiness and our great need for a divine cleansing.

Hope you're well in FL. It's so hot here now I feel like we're neighbors! (And Dan said he saw 5 inches of snow yesterday in Colorado!)

Blessings, my friend,
Kelli

2009-08-16T20:14:20.050-04:00

Ah, I think I'll have to remember that the next time I'm bending down to pick up spilled food. It happens a lot in our house and usually it's a race to see if we can get the food picked up before the dog gets it! But when I'm down on the floor, I too can intimately see the dirt that is crusted into the grooves of my floor. I'm sure it's often a reflection of the wet swifter that God needs to take to my heart!

Picking things off my kitchen floor,even right aft...

2009-08-16T20:11:42.024-04:00

Picking things off my kitchen floor,even right after I've cleaned,I think the same thing.

But now when that happens, I'll have another reminder.

Great post!

2009-08-16T18:14:04.780-04:00

Love this Julie! I think you ought to turn it into a devotion and send it for the P31 online devotional.

Next time I'm feeling distracted I'm going to recall your words and kneel down to tune into God and tune out the world.

2009-08-16T18:10:20.747-04:00

It's amazing what you can learn when you spill something. Good post. So true.

Excellent post. It reminds me that I haven't been on my knees literally except for cleaning my floors in awhile. Hope your day is great!
