Last October John Winters gave me a great birthday present… And so I wrote this following  blog… Today I decided I must share it again, because it is the whole truth and nothing but the truth …

Sometimes a woman’s gotta do what a woman’s gotta do!

Ok, I really meant to say was,” Sometimes a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do!”

Several weeks ago Winters took action.  He might have decided to act after he read my tweet on Twitter.

The one where I said, “When dust bunnies can now run from you it is probably time to bring in the professionals.” Yes, the professionals.

I can do a lot of things and I can do a lot of them very well.  I say that not to sound in any way vain but to simply say I know where my gifts lie and where they do not.

I also know that there is an art to keeping a house in mint condition.  I have learned. Cleaning a house is an art. It is not something for mere mortals, there are pros that can save us. Trust me.

I have personally tried every method to clean a house. I have read every book known to man who might help me here at our retreat, but to no avail.  Cleaning a house well is a gift and I do not have this gift.   I am confident of this.  In other posts I have been very honest about my strengths and weaknesses and being a great housekeeper is, let’s face it, not my gift.

But, knowing our strengths and weaknesses is also a gift.  I coach women all the time and say this very thing, focus on your gifts!  Focus on what you do well and give attention to weaknesses as necessary – but remember my friend they do not define you.

Our homes are our haven and our sanctuary. To be a haven, they must be neat, clean and orderly.

But I am afraid lately you might find me buried under mounds of laundry and being chased by dust bunnies!

Enter the Scene ~ John Winters to the rescue.  My birthday was a year ago and after I was attacked viciously,  yet again by the dust bunny, Winters was desperate to help out The Dress.  All I can say was that I was launching a new business, trying to finish several books, clean the house, work on  homework and help the Youngest SON heal from a tonsillectomy …

Winters talks with Lette.

My  hero and rescuer.  She was and is a gift.  She has a gift to take a house and make it look spotless in well, a blink of an eye!

Does having help to keep up this old house feel way to extravagant? Yes.  Does it feel like a life-preserver to a drowning Little Black Dress? Absolutely.

So today on this Thankful Thursday I am so grateful that Winters realized I needed help and sent in reinforcements.

I am grateful that all the dust bunnies have been captured and released into the backyard.

So be blessed and encouraged abundantly today as we remember to focus on our strengths and remember that we can all learn new gifts!

Remember that is okay to  ask for help.

Remember that you cannot do everything but that you can do all things through Christ. Remember that it is perfectly okay to ask for help. And my “Sam” as Winters calls them, is actually “Lette.”  We cannot do it all, nor did God want us to.But it’s about finding community.

It’s about finding help when we are so desperately in need!  It is about finding women that are true friends, friends like The Sacred Few and Sams.

It is about finding Lette!

Praise the Lord I had a Birthday a year ago and thank God that Winters found Letti ti help me.  Thank God that in life we find others who help be better than we are without them!
