I love hanging out laundry. It's a quiet, peaceful blessing, slowing me down, getting me out of the house and into the breeze and sunshine, and getting me alone with the Lord. So many times He has met me in this simple daily task, among the wet clothes, and talked with me, and taught me so many things about Himself, His heart, His will, and His love for me. Hence, a "clotheline moment".
Then there are those other times when I am running full speed, doing what I think is some great work for Him, and altogether missing Him, His heart, His will, and His love for me. It is those times when, in His great faithfulness, He stops me in my tracks and hangs me out to dry. Hence, a "clothesline moment".
Thanks for hanging out here with me. :)
