It is time to realize the good things in life. I never thought about laundry being a good thing until we moved into our new house.
When we lived in the trailer we had no room for a dryer, it was placed in our block building quite a ways away from the house. Laundry wasn't a simple task. I had to drag it out to the building rain or shine, day or night. Let me tell you I was scared to death a few times by a possum or raccoon rummaging for food. The joys of country life! There were also the times I had no dryer and had to clean clothes in shifts to get them dry or hang them on the line in the freezing cold.
Now that I have a dryer ( that works) I can so I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!!!
It is really a blessing that makes my life easier. As I was thinking of my blessing today I thought "Oh, Lord don't let me take this blessing for granted. Help me to remember what it was like before, so that I don't get greedy." I don't ever want to forget the good things. I don't want to throw them to the side like an old, used toy and greedily ask for more. Help me to be thankful and content and continually use all of the good things God has provided for me.

It's funny that you posted this today. I was shuffling around in the dryer this morning and mumbling to myself about how the clothes needed folded when an idea hit me.
I know that the Big-Bang theory of creation is wrong. The Big Bang theory is similar (in concept) to throwing a load of laundry into the dryer, running the cycle, and it coming out neatly folded, exactly the way I like the clothes folded. If only once a complete load of laundry came out of the dryer perfectly folded, I would change my mind. It is impossible!
Nicky,
Nothing is impossible. Someone stole two of my multi-million dollar ideas (note to self, have great ideas patented), and created a washer that dries clothes too, and an oven that keeps food cool and then cooks it on a scheduled time. Those were both my ideas, but someone out there is getting all the glory for them.
