It has been great fun connecting with some amazing and encouraging women all over the world in our new Wise Woman Builds Titus 2 Facebook Group (if you haven't joined yet, you are definitely welcomed to and we would love to have you)!
Recently a sweet gal from the group shared a wonderful "chore" list that will encourage you to keep a biblical focus through the week that she said she keeps next to her "real" chore list. I thought it might inspire you especially with it being the first day of Spring and we all know that spring cleaning will soon be on the way in most of our homes!
Here it is:
WEEKLY CHORES FOR LIFE
MONDAY - WASH DAY
Lord, help me wash away all my selfishness and vanity, so I may serve you for the week ahead.
TUESDAY - IRONING DAY
Dear Lord, help me wash out the wrinkles of prejudice I have collected through the years so I might see beauty in others.
WEDNESDAY - MENDING DAY
O God, help me mend my ways so I will not set a bad example for others.
THURSDAY - CLEANING DAY
Lord Jesus, help me to dust out the many faults I have been hiding in the secret corners of my heart.
FRIDAY - SHOPPING DAY
O God, give me the grace to shop wisely so I may bless my family with contentment and happiness and all others in need of love.
SATURDAY - COOKING DAY
Help me, my Savior, to brew a big kettle of brotherly love and serve it with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.
SUNDAY - THE LORD'S DAY
O God, I have prepared my house for you. Please come into my heart so I may spend the day and the rest of my life in your presence.

I love the chore list. It'so important to have those heart attitudes! Thanks, too, for hosting.
You're welcome--I just made the list into a printable so hope that is a blessing too! :)
When I first saw this, I was like, "why a christian chore list? What would make it different from a secular one?". Then, I read on. Haha.
I really like this. It's a good reminder to pray for my own heart. :)
Great list to help us think about the inside, while cleaning the outside.
I love the chore list, and I'd love to win any/all of the Pioneer Woman collection! It's so beautiful and feminine. I'm sure my husband wouldn't be quite as excited, but it would be fantastic for gathering with friends in particular. :)
Thank you for the printable! I am printing off 2 and adding one to my daughters homemaking/family cookbook as a gift before she get married in October. This will be a perfect addition! Donna
Where did you get the picture of the Mom and daughter in the kitchen? If it's not too much trouble could you send me the link? Here's my email: Sarahness1114@gmail.com. I understand if you don't rent or know..😃
