Everything You (I) Do

This picture illustrates how I usually feel by oh, the third day of the County Fair. 

Then again, just getting ready for the Fair is stressful. Supplies are expensive. We are under pressure to perform well. There's no help from any direction (which makes me feel resentful because people show up to watch the shows and have a good time but there is never anyone around when we are desperate for help).

I eat and breathe that resentment every year and it ain't pretty.

Yesterday I heard this song by Steven Curtis Chapman. It reminded me to do everything as if for Christ. If I we can keep this as our focus, our attitudes could be much brighter. Here's to a Fair Week during which we are models of patience.

Lyrics...

Maybe your that guy with the suit and tie
Maybe your shirt says your name

You may be hooking up mergers
Cooking up burgers
But at the end of the day

Little stuff
Big stuff
In between stuff
God sees it all the same

While I may not know you
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you
To do

Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every thing you do
