Five Minute Friday - Laundry

Five Minute Friday
It's a group of writers who join together on Friday. We write from a word prompt set by LisaJo Baker. Click through and read her post as well as other's posts. They are quite profound.

Now, onto today's word prompt: Laundry

GO

I remember the smell of warm fabric and the sounds of the swish of the sheets being tossed up onto the huge rollers of the hot steam iron. The heat rolling through the room from all the equipment was thick. The feel of the warm fabric coming from the dryers gave such a soothing feeling. You know when you pull your favorite blanket from the dryer and want to snuggle it and wrap up in it? That's what I mean. Folding the washed and dried hospital linens and gowns was therapeutic. The feeling of a job done is almost euphoric. The only true euphoria that I can attain is from the Holy Spirit.

  3. I remember when I had all my babies - and the one I lost - and the warm blankets they wrapped me in when it was all over - and that maybe someone with a heart like you helped prepared them warms this heart - and it adds a layer to the story!!! Not just the warm, clean linens - but your heart about the work each of us are called to do - simply beautiful!
