• This one is for everybody who lives in a home—not just a trite thing for kids to remember, but a goal for everyone no matter how old or young.
• The challenge: Figure out how your home runs, then try to anticipate the chores before you are asked to do your part.
• Keep an eye on the trash and take it out with out request; anticipate when it’s time to do the dishes and jump in; surprise your parents by asking to do your own laundry. When someone is running a bit late, look for something you can put away or take care of.
• Never try to evade the work; attack it head on.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise).
Ephesians 6:1–2

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:34
