Jun. 16, 2009 - ~An example in correlation
I have this little habit see. It's my little habit, been doing this for a long time, and I don't care to have anyone around interrupting. It's not that no one knows about my little habit, but evidently not everyone knew.....
So yesterday, I had two young helpers in the laundry room and for some reason I began to engage in my little habit with those two helpers right there. So I took out a shirt - It was the shirt of my little-est helper. I began to fold the shirt, held it close, closed my eyes and prayed over little-est helper. Then I put the shirt in the laundry basket and fetched a new one. Over and over again I prayed, performing my little habit, until all the laundry was folded.
But somewhere in the middle of the task, one of the helpers poked his head in the dryer, swished the remainder of those clothes around, looked at the two of us and said: "I have no prayer". All this time folding and the poor dear had no clothes in the dryer. And as he was correctly correlating - no clothes meant.....no prayers.
Now laundry is a bit of a chore for me. It's a love hate relationship. Praying really puts things in perspective and helps to remind me what I'm doing all this for. But one thing I don't want and that is to wake up this morning with more laundry than was used. Because as my little helper probably correctly correlated - more clothes means......more prayers.

That is cute. I get more laundry than was worn because they get lazy and don't want to put it away... that makes me ANGRY! Then I really need to pray...

I have read/heard this before, but I think it may have stuck this time. I have to admit though, I am glad you didn't post this yesterday while I was conquering the laundry monster at my house! =) It would have totally overwhelmed me then, but now that I am 'caught up' I can start praying with each item I fold. *Great* idea. Thanks for blogging it, and I hope you don't have any small people trying to get more prayers by wearing more clothes (or putting more clothes in the laundry)!

Very sweet. There was an older lady at Bible study that used to do that. I do it sometimes, but probably not enough :)
