Help! Around the House 5

"Cleaning is more than just the physical arrangement of objects; it involves the mental arrangement of our lives, and habits that make us happy or sad. When you think about it, you'll find that the concepts of order and neatness have profound power. You aren't teaching an act; you are teaching a principle of self-responsibility. The actual picking up is just the mechanics of it. the spirit of it is consideration, kindness, self-respect, and service. That is what cleaning is all about. Cleaning can set a pattern for the organization and responsibility in our children's whole lives."
