More Dust Then I Can Handle

Don’t you just love cleaning house? Our street is under construction. Now you know why I started with this question. Doesn’t matter how often you dust, it is still very dusty in the house. That was until last night. Now it’s mud everywhere. No dusting to do right now but we have to be careful not to bring the mud inside. That would mean washing the floor often. If you have to choose, I would take the mud. You see the dust gets everywhere. Upstairs, downstairs, in the drapes and all over everything. That is unless you close all the doors and windows.
But like I said, one way or another, something has to be cleaned up. All this dusting has made me think about what my mother used to say. “Wait until the dust settles”. Now, many people would take this to mean that we don’t have to dust as long as the dust is in the air. For us here on our street, that would mean, no dusting until the end of Nov. Or wait! There is always dust in the air, so. . . it goes to figure, you can stop dusting. Men on the other hand think that dust is only there to show them where to put things back.
The same may be true in life. When ‘things’ happen in life, we need to just let things settle down. I believe mom was right. There are times in our lives when we need to wait until the dust settles. Maybe that is what I like about Job. He just sat there scrapping the scabs away and waited until the dust settled. When he did, not did he see things clearly, but he also saw the presence of God. And it only took 38 chapters. Just let the dust settle and there you will see God.
Something to think about
