[quote]Assalam Alakum, sisters.  
I have been reading your postings and decided to add my humble thoughts.
 I work 40 to 44 hours a week at a high stress government  job. I am the wage earner in the family as my husband is disabled.  The last thing I want to do when I get home is clean or cook.  Even though my husband tries to have dinner cooked for me the rest of the household chores fall to me.  (There is just the two of us.)
I can truthfully say that if I was to hire someone to clean my house that I would have to clean if first so I wouldn't be embarrassed by the day to day mess.  Knowing this, most of my cleaning is on the weekends.
Doing dishes can be very restfull and rewarding because you get to think about all the blessings you have been given by Allah .... and you get clean hands.  During laundry I listen to various cd's such as Josuf Islam and learn more about Islam.  At the end of the weekend there is a sense of accomplishment in knowing that I was able to rely on Allah and his gifts to do what needed to be done.
 In the right frame of mind we can do Allah's work in everything we do.  Our actions speaks a million words.  I was drawn to Islam by getting aquainted with a younger muslim girl when I went to college.  She was 20 and I was 40.  Her quiet, self-assured manner, her maturity, her soft voice and her confidence showed me someone at a point in their life that I wish I could be at and she was half my age.  No preaching.  One day she asked me if I would like a copy of the Qur'an and gave me one.   That was all she did but she influenced me and several years later I professed and now I am covered.  Allah works through you in whatever you do, not just preaching.[/quote]
