Dishes, emails, school runs. I can do all of it with thanks.

A Bible affirmation for gratitude, rooted in Colossians 3:17.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Colossians 3:17 · BSB

Reflection

Paul doesn't split life into sacred tasks and ordinary ones. Whatever you do, in word or deed, can be done in Jesus' name with a thankful heart. That turns a long list of chores into a long list of chances.

A prayer

Jesus, let today's ordinary work be done in Your name. Give me a thankful heart while I do it.
