Work

Adam and Eve
Work has always been a part of this earthly experience. Adam and Eve were commanded to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth" (Genesis 1:28). This commandment was given while they were in the garden, so they were to "subdue" the earth from the very beginning. When they were cast out of the garden they were to work also. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" (Genesis 3:19). Since man was placed on the earth, we have been commanded to work.
Blessings of Family Work
Family work is something that most people wish they could just get rid of. This opportunity to work together on a common goal while doing tasks that don't require much thinking, allows from some great things to happen. While a family works, bonds can be strengthened and meaningful conversations can emerge. Working as a family lets us see our interdependence on each other and encourages us to sacrifice for one another. Insisting that children to help with family work helps them develop responsibility and a sense of self-worth. If they know that the work can't be completed without them, they will more willingly participate. And children learn to think of others as they do work for others rather than just making their own bed.

I know that family work is a blessing. That families and individuals are strengthened as they work together to make a happy home.
