In which we discuss the Mental Load today's women must bear. Housekeeping tends to be a common topic here on the podcast, mostly because we are two housekeepers. Keeping the house/managing daily tasks/ordering the home is a responsibility we both have & it is a privilege to do them.
We discuss today the phrase "washing the dishes is functional, not moral". While this phrase is true to a degree, we dive more into the nuance of the phrase & of course get right into the heart of the matter: sin & its pervasiveness in our lives. The fact of the matter is: our heart in how we order our homes and (more broadly) our relationship to the jobs we have been given become kingdom work when we are members of the kingdom.
Since we are covered by the blood of Jesus, we can do the dishes with full joy in our hearts. It is so easy to be lazy & choose to put off things that we can very easily get done. In a world that tells you you are too tired to do the dishes, & lures you to the couch to check out, be the godly woman who does the dishes anyway. You've got this.
