He said that the purpose of doing small and simple things such as washing the mountain of dishes in the sink, replacing missing paper towels, having an early morning bowl of cereal with a child; in fact, doing all things that serve others and serve ourselves, is to bring us closer to the divine. Prayer, scripture study, worshiping in our churches and simple acts of kindness are just a few that remind us to be in the right places, doing the right things at the right times. You will never be punished for your efforts to do good.
