One morning I was listening to a radio discussion about how to improve your outlook on parenting. Instead of saying "I have to take my child to ______(practice, school, the doctor, etc.)", you can change your attitude by saying "I get to take my child to ______(practice, school, the doctor, etc.). I decided to give it a try, not only with my child but with chores around the house.
I really focused on it Friday afternoon while cutting the grass. I have a rather large yard and this was the first lawn maintenance of the year. Let me say that I got to cut my grass on a most perfect day. It was in the 80s with a nice breeze. I got to ride a mower instead of pushing one. I got to see a nice clean cut because my Dad put new blades on the mower. I got to enjoy being outside with no sneezing because I had mask to keep out the pollen. I got to see how my trees have grown since last fall. And I got to relax for almost two hours because, well you can't do much else while sitting on a mower.
Then, I got to leave my house on Sunday morning and enjoy the sight of a newly mowed yard. But best of all I got to go to church to hear
Mark 16:6 But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
Happy Easter!
