Do everything as unto...

Do everything as unto the chocolate. I keep telling my kids in their school day to do everything as unto the Lord, do it as if you were doing it for the Lord. I had a great coupon on coupons.com for a mixed bag of candy and we have the candy jars sitting on the counter as rewards this week. One candy for 100 percent in math, one if you get done with school by 1:00 p.m. and with no complaining, etc., etc. Well, I had two kids get 100 percent! Unfortunately, that doesn't happen very often but several kids really tried hard because they knew there was candy involved so Jordan and I said, "Is it now, do everything as unto the chocolate?" How many of us will do a better job when there is some external reward or someone is watching? Guilty!
