It All Matters

I'm in a small group doing a study on the book The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson and we had a great discussion last night. Sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up in all the things that have to happen during the day and to get overwhelmed by this:

 And this

and it made me think of the Steven Curtis Chapman song “Do Everything”

You’re picking up toys on the living room floor for the 15^th time today

Matching up socks, sweeping up lost Cheerios that got away

You put a baby on your hip, color on your lips and head out the door

Chorus:

While I may not know you, I bet I know you wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you

To do every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do

Maybe you’re that guy with the suit and tie, maybe your shirt says your name
You may be hooking up mergers, cooking up burgers, but at the end of the day
Little stuff, big stuff, in-between stuff, God sees it all the same

Chorus

Maybe you’re sitting in math class, or maybe on a mission in the Congo
Or maybe you’re working at the office, singing along with the radio
Maybe you’re dining at a 5-star, or feeding orphans in the Myanmar

Anywhere and everywhere that you are
Whatever you do
It all matters
So do what you do
Don't ever forget

To do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause He made you
To do every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace

Chorus

In every little thing you do
In every little thing you do
