(feeling a little lost? See what this is all about)
(Sorry it took me so long to get this one up!)
Romans 12:9 and 11 say, "Your love must be real...Do not be lazy but work hard, serving the Lord with all your heart."
What's on your parents' to-do list? Go grocery shopping? Fix the doorhandle? Clean the oven?
What isn't getting done? And how hard are you working to show them that your love is real?
Believe it or not, your parents have a long list of to-dos--and they're probably not getting done with everything they'd like to do, whether in the way of chores around the house or fun things like reading books or spending time with friends.
Help take a bit of the load off your parents' shoulders today. Pay attention to the things they need done. Offer to help--or, better yet, surprise them! They'll not only appreciate the thoughtfulness, but they'll be relieved that you've taken something off their list of to-dos.
In a sentence...Do one unexpected chore or task on your own initiative. :)
Some ideas:
- Do the laundry
- Clean the bathroom
- Weed the garden
- Dust and/or vacuum the house
- Clean the oven
- Go grocery shopping
- Take one of your siblings to their activities
- Make dinner--and make enough to freeze some leftovers
Don't forget to keep doing what your parents tell you to (day 1) without complaining or arguing (day 2), obeying with a cheerful spirit and a smile (day 3)!
