As I plunked the clean clothes basket down in the hall between the boys' rooms, I hollered, "Maid Service!". Among the bleeps and buzzes of the playstation, a voice exclaims, "Cool!"
Cool? What about "Thanks Mom" or "I'll get it"?
Cool??
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might...Ecclesiastes 9:10a
Yes, that includes laundry. And dishes. And toilets. And vacuuming. Making my home clean and healthy - with all my might.
Equipped with the tools of my trade, I tackle the world I live in with a vengeance! Killing germs and fighting grime like a Superhero! Making sure my family has clean clothes, clean dishes, and a clean environment that they will dirty, mess and destroy so I can do it again!
A person can go to Salary.com and calculate how much money you would make at your job as a mom/homemaker, but I don't want to know. It's too depressing.
My benefit package far outweighs any salary I could make! Not the least of which is this:
Twenty minutes after I dropped off the laundry in the hall, the boy comes to me in the kitchen and hugs me tight. "Thanks for doing my laundry, mom".
Cool!

What you do cannot be given a dollar value!! I think in Heaven we might surprised at the value put on those very things you did for your family.
