Clean Enough
I hate it when I'm sick. I sit in a chair all day and watch HGTV or Hallmark movies until my brain goes numb. There is no cooking, cleaning or showering going on during these times. The last time I wasn't feeling well, I sat in my chair and looked at the so-so clean house and said, "It's clean enough." As the words came out of my mouth, my heart was quickened by the Holy Spirit... clean enough. That's an interesting concept... clean enough . When I was growing up my mom had a plaque on the wall that read... My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. I loved that motto because it was freeing. That particular saying set the bar pretty low, and let’s be honest...that's where we like it. There is no effort on our part to step over a low bar unlike a high bar which requires effort and preparation. Clean Enough may be interpreted differently by each of us. My clean may not be your clean AND
