Saturday my husband raked the yard and we asked the kids (ages six and under) if they'd like to make some money helping bag the leaves. They honestly were a big help! We paid each one $1.20. We first taught them to pull out 10% to tithe at church the next morning and then took them to the store where everything costs just one dollar. Each one picked out the toy of their choice and paid the cashier $1.06.
Our plan is to soon begin paying them for little jobs around the house. We intend to start a chart and make check marks when they complete the work. For now, our thought is that each check will be worth .05.
My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry."
I am a mom of seven children ages eight and under seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day!
