HOUSEWORK NOURISHES A HOME:
Housework is necessary to keep a home healthy and in good condition, which is what nourishment is all about. A body needs to be nourished in order to be healthy and caring for a home is no less important than caring for a body; a nourished home nourishes the bodies in the home, too. If a housewife doubts the importance of her work, she can remind herself that she is the one who nourishes her home with housework done in love for the people she loves.
