Some of you children, girls especially, like to help your mother in the kitchen, but boys can help too. When it comes time to stir cake or cookie batter in a bowl, that is sometimes a job that little people can do. And it’s always fun to be able to lick the spoon when Mother says it’s okay—mmmmmmm good!
But there are other jobs in the kitchen that boys and girls can help with. Lily is three years old, and she is learning how to peel a hard-boiled egg. It’s not always easy to peel off all the shell, but she’s working hard at it, and it looks like she’s doing a good job, don’t you think? Being a helper always pleases the Lord Jesus. Here’s a Sunday school song that we sometimes sing about being a helper. Maybe you sing it too.
In the house and out of doors,
Scrubbing pots and sweeping floors,
Washing, ironing, mending too;
These are things that I can do.
In the house and out of doors,
Chopping wood and doing chores,
Pounding nails or driving screws;
These are things that I can do.
I’ll do it all for Jesus,
I’ll do it all for Jesus,
I’ll do it all for Jesus,
For He’s coming very soon.
