Setting Up the Pins

Yes, it's another Sara Groves titled blog post, and yes it's another Sara Groves video, but as I'm sitting here gearing up to do some housework, I decided I needed to share this video. I hadn't paid all too much attention to this song until I went to that concert last month, and they played this video along with the live performance of the song, and now I just can't get enough of it. It can be discouraging sometimes to think about how many jobs in our lives we have to constantly re-do every single day- making the bed, packing a lunch, cooking dinner, cleaning up dinner, cleaning off the kitchen island (ours is a "stuff" magnet!), not to mention countless recurring tasks at work. In our small group's women's time, Stacy's been talking a lot about not growing weary in doing good, and this song reminds me to choose to "find joy in the fertile ground", to remember that even though it can feel so simple and blah sometimes, it's really profound to live out daily life with a joyful spirit.

So, Stacy, Liz, Jenn, and Michelle, this one's for you!
