Somehow they have come to symbolize a "to-do" list that becomes a "too-long" list and I try to ignore them thinking that if I don't acknowledge them they won't continue to grow and ripen and drop.
Why is it that we stop functioning when the list gets too long? Too many items on the agenda and we entire a semi-catatonic state. We renovate and never seem to finish. We weed and the weeds grow back, dishes get dirty again, beds need to be remade, laundry piles daily, a vacuumed house is dirty within 24 hours.
Remember .... This house is lovely and we have gardens to glorify God in, we have plenty of food to put on the dishes, comfortable beds where we can sleep in safety, plenty of good clothes, and a good home. And the apples? Perhaps tomorrow I can make a batch of applesauce....
Hup-to-it!
