Beatitudes For Homemakers!

I recently ran across an old book called A Woman In Her Home by Ella May Miller.  It is such a neat little book!  I wanted to share this with you from the book:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BEATITUDES FOR HOMEMAKERS

Blessed is she whose daily tasks are a work of love; for her willing hands and happy  heart transform duty in joyous service to all her family and God.

Blessed is she who opens the door to welcome both stranger and well-loved friend; for gracious hospitality is a test of brotherly love.

Blessed is she who mends stockings and toys and broken hearts; for her understanding is a balm to her husband and children.

Blessed is she who scours and scrubs; for well she knows that cleanliness is one expression of godliness.

Blessed is she whom children love; for the love of a child is of greater value than fortune or fame.

Blessed is she who sings at her work; for music lightens the heaviest load and brightens the dullest chore.

Blessed is she who dusts away doubt and fear and sweeps out the cobwebs of confusion; for her faith will triumph over all adversity.

Blessed is she who serves laughter and smiles with every meal; for her cheerfulness is an aid to mental and physical digestion.

Blessed is she who introduces Jesus Christ to her children; for godly sons and daughters shall be her reward.

Blessed is she who preserves the sacredness of the Christian home; for hers is a divine trust that crowns her with dignity.

I googled for this book. Unfortunately, the first item that come up was poking fun at the book. I like the sentiments expressed. Thanks for posting them.

About Me

I would like to encourage parents as they follow the path the Lord has set before them - which includes discipling their children, keeping a home, building relationships, and much more. I would also like to let others know about ebooks we are offering, as well as other resources that will encourage and equip parents to fulfill the challenge by the Lord set forth in Deut. 6:7.
