i used to try that & it didn't seem to work, but i think maybe i was trying too hard, if that makes sense
i need to remember that. especially since lately for some reason that one line in the song 'jack and diane' (yes, i know y'all are too young) has been stuck in my head: 'life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone'
You're not so old! I know that song! How exactly does one put eternal significance on daily things? I've heard that often before but I just don't get how to do it. I mean, yes, by changing my kids diapers I'm helping them to grow up to the point that they can understand about God, but is that what people mean?
or are they talking about the stranger principle- that what you do, do as if unto Christ...? but I don't get why they call it eternal significance then unless they mean storing up treasures in Heaven, but then that's always confused me too since one is not supposed to covet and lots of times people just use that idea as future coveting imagining a big heavenly house and nice car made especially for those golden streets.
well, for me, i think, remembering that my work at the home is not just a job, but a way to minister to these people
true, but it's not always so clear-cut, especially if you work at a job that isn't as service-oriented as that... when i said i tried it once, i was thinking back when i had office temp jobs. but i think it can still be significant; it's just sometimes hard to know how & to consciously think about it...
and hobbitsister, who are jack and diane??
(only kidding... i love john "cougar" mellencamp's music!:)
aaand now it's stuck in my head.
eternal significance like doing everything, whether it's singing in church or changing yet another diaper, for God
thanks!
