That being said, one must be careful not to make the Lord's day a day for cleaning either. While cleaning up the dishes may fall under a sort of daily necessity, scrubbing the toilet probably doesn't.
The principle remains the same...is it a work of necessity or mercy? These words need some interpretation. |
Jeff thanks, you bring to mind an interesting point. As I stated, the housekeeper will be here Monday, if I do NOT do the dishes it will cut into her work! She has a husband who was just wounded and is need both of time and money. So. With that in mind, might it be a "lesser" "evil" to start a load, than pile work on one who is sore pressed as is? Is it not better for me to chance it and be Merciful?
