“Jesus Christ is Lord over my heart, and he is Lord over my hands,
and he is Lord over what I do with these hands, and he is Lord over what
I say in my heart while I’m doing it. In submitting to the lordship of
Christ, then, I do not treat washing dishes as wasting time I could be
spending doing something ‘meaningful,’ but rather as a service to those
who eat in my home, as a service to those who would have to wash dishes
if I did not, and as an offering of thanksgiving to God that I have food
to eat, dishes to eat it on, and running water inside my home to clean
with.”
