The same goes for vacuuming the floor, doing laundry, and cleaning the bathroom.
Doing those tasks are important, as everyone in my family enjoys having clean plates, wearing fresh-smelling clothes, and walking on crumb-free floors.
However, there is one thing I can do today that will impact eternity. I can invest in the lives of our children.
I can listen intently when they talk. I can answer their questions thoughtfully. I can teach them something they didn't know before.
And, most importantly, I can point them to God - by praying with them, singing a hymn as we work, learning a Bible verse together. I can help them see His hand at work in every day occurrences, show them His continuing goodness in our lives.
That, my friend, is a task with results that will last forever.
Great post!

Amen! Great post, Tracey. It's so important to remember this.
ReplyDeleteSO true - and combining housework with talking, singing or Scripture memorisation is SO worthwhile - it puts joy into the task and as you said, has lasting impact. We especially enjoy singing when we wash dishes together, in our house! :)
