If you’re like me, you spend HOURS in the kitchen. Every day. Doing all kinds of things, from planning, to cooking, to eating, to washing dishes, to putting things away…
So how about making the most of all that time and worshiping too?!
After reading a post written by Char a couple of weeks ago, I was inspired to write this kitchen tip. She told of how she enjoys listening to praise music while she does dishes (and how it almost makes her look forward to washing the dishes!)
I also have a radio in my kitchen and have found that turning it on to my favorite Christian radio station while I’m working is a wonderful way to add cheer and to help me focus on what is important. I can’t help but sing along and praise God while I work!
Or sometimes, when I feel like all I’ve done the entire day is listen to noise…instead of turning music on in the kitchen, I’ll appreciate working in my quiet kitchen with no extra voices…and just spend time talking to God while I work.
It has become a favorite place, a favorite way to work and a blessed time with my Father.
So then, instead of looking at the mounting pile of dishes and groaning…we can all get excited…because more dirty dishes to wash means more praise time…right?!

Thank you for the encouragement! I love using this time for profitable use as well. I try to listen to good sermon podcasts while in the kitchen and it is extremely edifying. I’ll have to include some more worship. Thanks!
What a great idea, Laura! Such a wonderful way (and so simple!) to help us really be a blessing in our homes :) Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the encouragement! I like to use the kitchen as a quiet place while I work…just me, my thoughts, and God. :)
I am not a big noise person. They always say that God talks to us when it is quite. I got this bit of info when I was reading about St. Joseph. He was a quite man so he could hear God. God talked to him alot. I keep this in mind when I go places. The radio is hardly on except when I am listening to my prayers on the go.
