The Domestic Church Workout
Light housework has health benefits. For optimum results, pray while you clean.
The adage “Cleanliness is next to godliness” is not in the Bible. In fact, it’s widely attributed to a sermon given in the 18th century by John Wesley, founder of the Methodist branch of Protestantism. Nevertheless, it’s a point worth pondering in light of a new study suggesting that light housework, when done regularly, reduces stress and improves mental health. After all, it’s exercise. For maximum benefit, pray while you clean house.
