Finally: The Load of Just Towels

There are things you acquire when you are a parent to a girl child that you never, ever thought you would. Eight thousand plastic rings. Polly Pockets shoes the size of a pinhead. Fifty-four hoodies, all worn on the same day in dirty snow. That now need to be washed. And towels. Lots and lots of towels. I love this post by Laura in which she realized what those towels really mean.

She writes:

And then He reminded me that just a short while ago, I could fit ALL of our laundry in two loads. And I was begging Him for children. And He answered my prayers. And children create laundry. Therefore, laundry, especially a load of JUST towels, was a BLESSING. And to this day, whenever I do a load of JUST towels, I smile, and thank God, and am content in my heart. His kindness to me is overflowing.

I recently wrote a blog post about doing laundry in a Zen state. It truly helped to remember that I'm doing this for the children who are the loves of my life. It should not be so much an awful chore, but a blessing from me to them. And I thank God that I have a working washer and dryer!

My husband folded all the laundry for me.

It takes so little time for my house to go from picked up to disaster. And at the same time I'm fuming at the mess, and why am I the only one who cares, and why am I the only one can do dishes and vacuum and do laundry...I try to remember how blessed I am to have my children and my family and clothes that need to be washed and floors that need to be vacuumed. A lovely post :)

Ahh-- my laundry is about to multiply! But there's nothing better than a load of just towels!
