"Whatever you do, it all matters..."

Recently, there's been a lot of buzz between differing opinions on how much worldly and economic knowledge is experienced from being a stay-at-home mom vs. a working mom. My opinion on the matter was very easily formed, with imaginary fists in the air.

But then, I heard this song on the radio just today. Being a hormonal mom at the moment, I got teary-eyed. And then I got to thinking: we shouldn't be ranking our level of knowledge by how much we can relate to the economy section of the newspaper, but we should be looking at what's most important: earthly knowledge vs. eternal knowledge?

I hope you enjoy the song.

"Do Everything" by Steven Curtis Chapman, 2011


You're picking up toys on the living room floor
for the 15th time today
Matching up socks and sweeping up lost
Cheerios that got away
You put a baby on your hip and color on your lips
and head out the door
And while I may not know you I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes does it matter at all
We'll 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
And 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
And while I may not know you I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes does it matter at all
We'll 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
And tell the story of grace with every move that you make
And every little thing that you do

Well maybe you're sitting in math class
Maybe you're on a mission in the Congo
Maybe you're working at the office
Singing along with the radio
Maybe you're dining at a five star
Or feeding orphans in Myanmar
Anywhere and everywhere you are
Whatever you do it all matters
So do what you do and 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 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
And tell the story of grace with every move that you make
And every little thing that you do

Every little thing you do
