Heads up: you might want some rubber gloves for this one. Unblocking the sink, cleaning the toilet, scrubbing the oven. Plenty of domestic chores we routinely avoid or pass off to someone else. So today, sign yourself up for the job nobody else wants to do in your household. And if you happen to be the only member of your household, see if you can do the dirty work for a neighbor instead.
Today’s Challenge:
Seize the moment: No procrastinating – spend five minutes doing that one household job you can’t stand, or schedule a spring-clean for someone at some point in the next week.
Get stuck in: Go the extra mile. Don’t just clean the kitchen, scrub the bathroom too. Spend a little longer perfecting that clean and sparkling finish!
Go the whole hog: Get a group together and offer a spring-cleaning service for a neighbor. You could offer to hoover, dust and polish their entire house for a day, free of charge.
“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
Five words guaranteed to change your life this year: ‘Can I help with that?’
We want you to think about doing things for others, not purely as acts of service but as an opportunity to learn more about our world and the people we share it with. Be generous with your time and your comfort zone. Look for opportunities to volunteer or help out in communities that are different from your own, and do not be afraid to get some grime and life
experience under your nails.
