Together is Better

At home, we have established a new method of getting things done...teamwork. I know the concept has been around for a long time...call us late bloomers.

We have begun doing what is called "The Walkthru" Basically we take two times a day (and as needed) to gather the troops to start in a corner of the main floor and like a locamotive, we get the cleaning job done fast and well. We have found it brings us closer together as a family. In the past we have done some chores individually but that has led to a lot of comparing of who does what and it takes longer. Not to mention the tons of management.

As I have reflected on this little change that has brought great harmony, I have wondered what else at home, in ministry, friendships, and life could we engage to bring teamwork and harmony.

Any ideas?

I like the team concept for cleaning up the house... I might have to give it a try with our 4.

I have read that believing you should do it all yourself is a sign of pride. We are failing to trust that God has given us people capable of using their gifts.

What a great way for us to see on a daily basis the gifts He is fostering in our children by working together with them.

Thanks for this.
