God Lives in Housewives
Thought of the Day:
“God is in the boring housewife stuff.”
Maud Bailey – The film “Possession”
Thinking Outside of the Box:
When God looks into the heart of a man and a woman, does he see something different? New research says that women’s brains are different than men’s. Women are constructed differently than men, wired differently, and differ considerably chemically. So what does God see when he looks into the woman’s mind?
In life, we have extraordinary events, and we have the ordinary day-after-day events, that routinely happen. They are repetitive, sometimes monotonous, always necessary, and consistently there. They are like mantras that we repeat over and over and over. But within mantras, we find stillness. We find, within those mundane moments, an inner quiet that allows God to enter, even if we are unaware of it.
Perhaps we should try embracing those mundane and routine chores. Those are the times our mind is open to receiving God even though we are unaware of it. It can make the boring chores, the routine tasks, and the menial jobs we do all day, full of expectation of what they will mean to us later on.
Some Last Thoughts:
“If you begin to live life looking for the God that is all around you, every moment becomes a prayer.”
Frank Bianco
“…one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one’s own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.”
Albert Einstein
“God enters by a private door into every individual.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I am a woman above everything else.”
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
“In the faces of men and women I see God.”
Walt Whitman
