red light - green light

I feeling like blogging about my vacuum cleaner. I am not sure how you feel about that but I am going to do it anyway.
We have a vacuum that is not my favorite. Vacuums are supposed to suck dirt out of the carpet and make the floors look nice. Ours does that but it also does more. It gets me in trouble and puts me in a bad mood.
There are 2 little lights on the base of it - one is green and one is red. The red one shines when the carpet is not yet clean and the green one means I can move along. I don't think I like the vacuum telling me what to do - maybe that is the problem. And when my husband is watching, he doesn't like it if I move to the next spot when the light is still red. I have thought about putting tape over the lights so I don't have to look at it while I am trying to use it. Seeing that red light gives me a D.R.A.!
So many times in life I wish I had little lights to direct me. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a little green light go on when we were trying to make a decision to know if it was right or not? Should I exercise more? (green light). Should I try to get more sleep? (green light). Should I buy the new shirt I do not need? (red light). Should I choose to have a good attitude in a stressful situation? (green light). Should I worry about something instead of praying about it? (red light).
Those are all very obvious answers but do I actually take the time to ponder what color the light would be when I need to make a decision? And there are times when I am searching for a light because I don't know what the right answer is. I am thankful that God sees the big picture and knows all the right answers.
So I will vacuum and when I see the red light - I will try to smile.
