Saturday, I found the motivation to do a deep clean in my house. It was a beautiful day outside, so I opened the windows and doors and allowed the sunlight to shine in. I turned on some jams and went to work. 

As I was cleaning, I realized that a corner of my house just looked bare. I had rearranged my living room a few months back and just hadn’t found the pieces to put in the corner. Now, if you know me, you know I am cheap. If I can save money, I am. If I can get something for free and make it look nice believe me, I will choose that option over purchasing. Judge me all you want, lol. Over these past few months, I have gradually collected items, and Saturday, they just fell into place in my mind as I was cleaning. 

When my son finally looked up and realized what I was doing, he spoke words that would have brought tears to my eyes if I were overly emotional. He looked at me and said, “you are a superhero; mom, your house is so pretty.” He was not in my mind to know how much of failure I was feeling lately regarding my housekeeping skills and duties. Or how I felt like I was not keeping it together, that I had taken on too much, and that I had been doubting God and Him using me. Yet, God used my four-year-old to encourage me. 

So, what’s the point? Look for God to use the most unlikely people in your life in the most unlikely of ways. His word says in Luke 9:48, that the one who is least among us is the greatest. 

How do you treat the poor, oppressed, or the helpless? How you answer this question is essential.
