Tidy House

We started allowances and a new cleaning plan on our Family meeting last week. The honeymoon
is great, each child choose an area of the house to be responsible for in addition to their room.
We've set a time in the evening to take care of our areas, and the house has maintained a tidy appearance. We pull the house back together within ten minutes or less.  I haven't had to ask more then once nor have I had to higher a sibling to to do their work out of their allowance. The ownership and postive attitude is great!  Once the novelty fades, as I'm sure it will...I'll let you know how it goes but we are off to a grand start.

To go along with our new plans, our nightly devotions for the month of September just happened to be on Responsibility and Work. I see God's hand working in this with our family. Todays memory verse: Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people!  Colossians 3:23
