God On Doing Dishes in the Bible
HAPPIER IN BIGGER HOUSES?
UK is experiencing a dire shortage of living spaces and many homeless. While a few people live in the 20 to 50+ mansions so does having more rooms necessarily make people more happy and content? Its common to hear concerns about the pokey new-build sky-high rents that forces more people into smaller homes. The reality is living spaces in England and Wales for the rich wealthy famous is larger than ever. The average home increasing from 88 to 90 square metres between 2004 – 2020. The issue is that distribution of space is unequal to people. The owner occupiers have lots of space compared with young renters sharing home with many others. In 2019, about 28% of UK households contained one person, up from 17% in 1971. But the proportion of families and individuals sharing the private rented housing has almost tripled since 1992 to 6.6%, according toresearch by the Resolution Foundation think tank. So, does more space always mean happier occupants, or is there a cut-off point?
Status and neighbours
A London-based client told said an aunt came to visit her from Hong Kong. Upon seeing her shoe-box bedroom, she was filled not with pity, but with envy. The aunt grew up with seven people in one room thought this living arrangement is the height of luxury. This illustrates how level of space expected or aspired to can affect perspectives depending on what one is used to. After people move into a bigger house it may not take long before they start feeling like they don’t have enough room. Surveying almost 1,000 people who chose to upsize their home, my research found housing satisfaction initially increased after a move by 1.2 points on a seven-point scale. But within three years rise diminished by 30% as people’s space expectations increased.
You might think that people with very big houses would be more satisfied with their property. Found increase beyond four rooms per person resulted in no uplift in housing satisfaction at all. This category is likely to include some older people who would like a smaller space but are reluctant to leave the family home. Even for the average household, more space may not necessarily lead to more happiness. Our space expectations are conditioned by where lived before, but by neighbours. Because house size is status symbol feels worse off if other people get larger houses. A recent US study found increase in size of largest 10% of superstar houses had significant negative effect on their neighbours, 
Those people who moved into a bigger home, previous surveys have suggested people would be prepared to have less living space overall if it meant less than others. Rising cost of ‘normal’ is not to say everyone is consciously competing with their neighbours over who has the biggest house. Most concern of a house size may stem from underlying desire to fit in to do things considered “normal.” This could be having dinner around the family table or watching TV on the sofa which requires what is considered to be a “normal” level of living space. If home sizes increase then so does the amount of space we feel like we need just to keep up. If all have space for home gym having friends round for a workout could well become as normal as having them round for dinner.
Counting the costs as a nation, do not seem to be getting any happier with our housing, even though living space and housing conditions have improved for many people. The US-based study draws similar conclusions. It suggests people living in a detached house, satisfaction stayed the same since the 1980s as the amount of space per person has grown by about 40%, to more than 900 square feet. People moving into bigger homes comes with costs. Spending more on housing means people incurring more mortgage debt, working longer hours, or commuting longer distance, building more homes has significant irreversible environmental costs. An overwhelming case is to provide genuinely affordable housing for those suffering in cramped, unaffordable living conditions. Beyond this increase is if average living spaces improve wellbeing society is debated. This analysis piece was commissioned by the BBC from an expert working for an outside organisation.

His role is building relationships between housing researchers, policymakers, practitioners and residents.

UGLY FOODS THROWN AWAY
Quality foods grown with precious time and resources are thrown away because these foods do not look PERFECT to the buyer. A third of farmed fruits and good vegetables never reaches supermarket shelves because its misshaped or wrong size according to new research. Though billions of people starve everyday, these foods are not donated to people as Olio App does helping save good foods. It is a sad thing that a mere aesthetic shape of a nutritious food is thrown while people including children die from starvation. It is necessary to stop using these foods, provided by Almighty God to feed all the people as weapon of power to deny feeding people or those who can it turn into cooked food for the homeless. This is gone on for far too long as tonnes of perfect food is buried everyday but the human beings die from starvation. This is an issue can help save farmers from bankruptcy as their crops are wasted. No matter how perfect a food crop is, it is cut to shape or mashed depending on the recipe. Often finished food product served looks beautiful regardless of the shape before cooking. Food waste must stop because even hard-working people cannot afford expensive ingredients in the supermarkets anymore. Setting up a department for lower incomes to buy is frowned upon because of fear it might undercut profit margins if cheaper food is sold alongside “perfect glamourised” shapes selected in name of customers. It is argued customers “prefer” the perfect fruits and vegetables shapes only. But a lot of ordinary people struggling to feed their families do not mind the shape of an ingredient. Cooking foods or eating a misshaped fruit does not affect people in any way. It is unacceptable excuse so volunteers can organise the distribution to people listed to buy vegetable boxes regularly or receive it as the donations to homeless Charities to cook. There is more than enough food to feed all the people living on earth but this sort of actions deprives billions of food globally each day. It does not make any sense to throw good away because of its shape. .
A University of Edinburgh study found more than 50 million tonnes of fruit and vegetables grown across Europe were discarded each year. This was in part because they did not “meet consumers’ expectations” of how they should look. The study was published in the Journal of Cleaner Production. It examined food loss and waste in European Economic Area and examined how much food was discarded each year before it reached the point of being sold. The researchers attributed losses to strict government regulations, supermarket high standard as well as customer expectations of how produce should look. They found that the farmers contracted to supermarkets typically grew more food than obliged to supply, to allow for a proportion that would not be deemed fit to sell. The researchers suggested that greater awareness among consumer movement towards shopping encourage the sale of more ugly vegetables. Stephen Porter, of the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences, said: “Encouraging people to be less picky about how their fruit and vegetables look could go a long way to cutting waste, reducing the impact of food production on the climate, and easing the food supply chain.” In recent times, UK supermarkets are making more space for increasing amounts of less-than-perfect produce. Last year, Sainsbury’s campaign encourages use of blemished bananas, while Morrisons introduced a new “wonky” range that included avocados. Others, including Waitrose, Tesco and Asda, branched out into selling misshapen fresh items. A lot of unemployed people can organise sale of cheaper food produce schemes to help solve food waste. Billions of people starve everyday even in these advanced countries in Europe but food is thrown away everyday. The golden rule is to be each other’s keeper so feel good helping others and saving food from wastage.

GOD ON MEN DOING DISHES
In the Bible, 2 Kings 21:13 says God will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes dishes, wiping and turning it upside down. And after washing dishes it is turned upside down or sideways to drain properly so to prevent the murky water festering to breed germs. It is interesting God says men wash and wipe dishes considered as women’s work or job. Its fascinating and surprising some men strongly feel housekeeping is women’s job. 
Almighty God describes the real life dish washing by men and associates with the Biblical events mentioned to make an important point to warn people. God usually uses metaphors to highlight many messages to people about events that happened in living history. God points out to men washing dishes and remembering to turn them correctly not to breed and spread germs is alright and demands an applaud. 
Some will say God only used it to describe an action and so did not say that men should wash dishes. Millions of men wash dishes and cook everyday so is perfectly acceptable to do in some places throughout the world. Once a family went to buy washing machine from a big store. The salesman advised the boys in the family trying to convince their parents to buy a dishwasher so the boys do not have to do dishes. He told them dishwashing is women’s job so the place for women is in the kitchen. 
There was a time that education of girls was considered waste of time and so not allowed to attend schools. Some parts of the world still treat women this way because they fear educated women are above their control. However, it is well known that well educated women train children academically better to be excellent achievers. Therefore both the men and women gain from education so can help each other at home. They can hire housekeepers if too busy to do the dishes and pay them. God is telling men no housework is beneath them so must help their spouses. The family can benefit from teamwork of both partners including children helping with chores.
However, this kind of thinking is flawed because the dishes have to be scraped of the leftover food bits into the bin before loading into a dishwasher. Such advise assumes those boys will not need to do domestic chores for women. Yet those boys used more cups, cutlery and plates in the family than anyone else so did not drink water from own clean cups more than once. Instead of washing own cups and plates just leave them piled high for the mother to wash. Even if a dishwasher machine cleans it is still moist or wet so has to be wiped before dishes are packed into the cupboards. 
Despite the fact that both parents work all day long, paid their mortgage to keep the roof over their heads, buy and cooks food to feed them, pay bills. Still expect their dishes to be done exclusively only by mother. This idea is popular certain that jobs must only be done by women. Especially in paternalistic societies the macho men think that domestic chores belong to women. It was also assumed that it was the feminist movements that are responsible for demanding men do domestic chores in these modern times. 
So sometimes men vehemently object to domestic chores especially if the spouse is a full-time housewife. They argue that they provide the roof over the heads of the family, earn the bacon so domestic housework and childcare are women’s jobs. The reality is in fact those wanting a happy life need to know a happy wife is a happy life supported by all family to maintain their happiness too. Almighty God Yahweh approves of men washing dishes and wiping it dry and so men no longer have excuse its women’s job. 
God could have said women washed the dishes and dry it for the Gospel message but chose men to do the dishwashing in the Bible. This does not mean only men must wash the dishes exclusively either for domestic chores require team work and wisdom. Anyone freely available than others can help with dishwashing to ease burden and load of housework. It is important to be aware Jerusalem is God’s City on earth a bone of contention of nation’s fighting to take it from God to stop Jesus’ Reign from Israel. 
God warns nations by military coalition against Israel they succeeded in the past because HE ALLOWED it. Apocalyptic endtime attacks against Jerusalem will be dealt with by God HIMSELF. It seems nations dividing HIS City gain an upper hand but God’s agenda unfolds Rapture and Armageddon battle will take place according to Bible. God Almighty wipes Jerusalem like dishes, plates, wiped but all Israel shall be saved as God ordained two Witnesses and 144,000 Israel tribes sealed to evangelize Israel to be saved.
Dishwashing liquid advert campaign reveals bias against women assumed to be ONLY ONES doing washing up. Inside Edition footage of Markle talks of sexist ad for Ivory washing up liquid on Nick News in 1993. Classmates watch adverts reviewed to assess message. Prior to the interview the class wrote to show host Linda Ellerbee drew attention to advert which said: “Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.” Due to actions of the girls advert changed to include men as God says men do dishes.
Meghan said, “We didn’t think it’s right for kids to grow up thinking mom does everything 14-year-old Markle told Nick News. “Its always ‘mom does this, mom does that” so the class wrote to Procter & Gamble so the company’s ad changed. They wrote to Hillary Clinton, “To help change commercial to: “People all over America use Ivory washing liquid” in a letter to company was effective because Procter & Gamble took their suggestion to change sexist commercial. “Two boys from the class said: ‘yeah, that’s where women belong in the kitchen.” The girls domesticated run household while boys let off go outside to play football or stay indoors on computer games. It is worse when children are not trained in useful housekeeping skills to grow and apply life skills. Prepare your children for real practical life so essential to train boys and girls. The privileged have housekeepers others do dishwashing themselves help use family dishwashing machine to ease burden of parents and spouse if married. People earn money doing dishes a good job for men God approves and endorses so men have no excuse.
