Paper Towel Quotations

It's Monday. I'm at work. The kids are finally asleep. It's been a long morning. Cleaning the kitchen just now I was intrigued by the saying on the paper towel I was using to wipe the counter.

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to
always reach my destination."

They are Sparkle paper towels which I would not recommend to anyone - anywhere! They stink! They fall apart faster than anything. I've gone through practically a whole role and it's only 12:38pm. Granted, with two toddlers, paper towels are used as frequently as water, and any of you who have looked after children know what precisely what I mean. For crying in the mud - BUY A BETTER BRAND. Today I'm pretty much convinced anything would be better. Personally, I like Bounty. Sparkle might be cheap, but they are seriously crappy. (Okay, back to my point.) So intrigued by this quote I was that I stopped mid-swipe and came down here to the basement and began this blog.

Sparkle may not be a very good product, but they have smart marketing people over there. I've had a horrible morning. This simple little quote actually made me rethink and refocus my whole day.

I don't know where it would take most people. Or even if most people look at the printing on paper towels. But it took me to God. Instantly. Back to Jesus. The wind in my sails. My Direction. My Guide. My ultimate Destination. And then I thought - how am I doing with Him today? Am I living out my walk? Sure. Somewhat. But I've been short with Thomas and impatient with him. It's not his fault his parents don't have a clue. He doesn't deserve my impatience. Am I worshiping? Sure, I've had KLOVE on all day, but have I been focused on God? Who's plans am I following? Mine or the Lords? Am I praying? Yes, that one has been a yes. But how?

I think, truth be told, I've got some re-aligning to do.
