Posted in On Being a Wife and Mother
I got this in an email the other day, and thought I'd post it here for others to find encouragement and support. Some days it seems we need all the support we can grab ahold of. Grab this and feel your worth.
The Homemaker's Value
If women choose not to do this very special job,
it will simply not get done.
The mothering, the nurturing, the comforting and caring
that fills the committed homemaker's day
will simply be lost,
and society will be impoverished.
Children will not get the spiritual guidance they need.
Lonely teenagers will not be listened to.
Many people with problems will not be ministered to;
many sick folk will go unvisited.
A special human quality will disappear from our culture.
Women can give up their careers
as clerks, engineers, sales people, doctors,
and others will step in.
The world will go on as smoothly as before.
It will be business as usual.
The groceries will still be sold,
trucks loaded with merchandise will still roll across our highways,
and Wall Street will carry on.
Not so with homemaking.
Homemakers are the special people in whose hands
the country and the world have been entrusted.
When women leave this job the world does not go on as before.
It falters and begins to lose its way.
Homemakers are indispensable!
