A Clean Carpet

We have a light, taupe-colored carpet that until about 12 hours ago, had spilled beverage and food stains, dirt spots, and who knows what, all over it. We blame our dog and our granddaughter for the "carpetitis". Carpetitis makes me walk in the house and lose all focus. Instead of doing the task at hand, I am compelled to exam the carpet in detail to see if there are any new spots or problems. It's just a big distraction! I think Satan likes to remind us of all the spots on our "carpet". He want to take our focus off the job/task at hand, spiritually, and make us focus on the spills and dirt that happen along the way. Praise God for a Savior that has permanently dealt with the messes on the "carpet" and made them clean and new! Oh, how I love a clean carpet!

I tend to focus on little spots, too. Spiritually, that is. Those shoulda-woulda-coulda spots. Thanks for the reminder.
