Our Chore Page

In this family we believe that chores are a necessity for everyone in order to keep a house running and a family together. Chores for children are not only character building but also give the child a sense of accomplishment and feeling of worth. We believe everyone of our children should have to help on the farm with an age appropriate chore. So I created this page to give a little insight on what we do each day as a family for large chores, the little mundane things like making beds, vacuuming, washing clothes and cooking meals are givens.

Colossians 3:23

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Genesis 2

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Isaiah 56:2

Blessed is the man who does this, the man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
