Tasks and Chores

Of all the tasks and chores a person must complete, housework is one of the most loathed tasks there is. However, if one keeps in mind one simple little fact, housework no longer seems such a formidable task. The one simple little fact is that the Blessed Mother herself not only did housework, but did it without complaint. Nor did she have any of the modern conveniences that we now have. She completed tasks which have been completely eliminated by modern technology, such as drawing well water. Even washing dishes by hand is now much easier than during the time in which Our Lady lived. Keeping such facts in mind, a person should look upon housework not with a frown, but with a smile, knowing that they are doing something which Our Lady herself once did.
