Day 5:
Yesterday we visited Angelor's house. Just outside that door, his sister was doing laundry, and climbing up to the roof to hang it to dry. Today we invite you to enter the "door" to the "laundry room" at Angelor's home. Climb on up the ladder, with your arms full of laundry. Then hang it carefully over the edges of the roof and on some old electrical wires. Now pray that it doesn't rain..... then go up and do it all in reverse! (This is after hand washing each item...... after walking 1/4 mile to get the water to hand wash each item).
Today's Challenge: Do a load of laundry today. Instead of doing so begrudgingly, stand in awe in your laundry room. Imagine how miraculous it is that a machine agitates for a half hour and your clothes magically come out clean! Put them in the dryer or allow them to air dry. Consider how simple this process is as you plop your clothes from one machine to the next. Just pause for a moment in appreciation for technology and access to it that allows your schedule to have minimal time devoted to washing and thus free you to do other things. When you are folding the laundry, be thankful for fluffy towels, sports clothes, dress clothes, sleeping clothes, socks without holes, and underwear that fits.
