A Prayer for my Husband

Lord, bless and preserve my cherished husband, whom You have given me: Let his life be long and blessed, comfortable and holy; let me ever be a blessing and a comfort to him, a sharer in all his sorrows, a consolation in all the accidents and trials of life; make me forever lovable in his eyes and forever dear to him; unite his heart to mine in fondest love and holiness, and mine to him in all sweetness, charity, and submission. Keep me from all ungentleness; make me humble and obedient, that we may delight in each other according to Your blessed word. May both of us rejoice in You, having our portion in the love and service of God forever.
Amen.

A Prayer for Womanhood

God, give each true good woman
Her own small house to keep,
No heart should ache with longing,
No hurt should go too deep.....
Grant her age-old desire:
A house to love and sweep.
Give her a man beside her,
A kind man, and a true,
And let them work together
And love, a lifetime through,
And let her mother children
As gentle women do.
Give her a shelf for dishes,
And a shining box for bread,
A white cloth for her table,
And a white spread for her bed,
A shaded lamp at nightfall,
And a row of books much read.
God, let her work with laughter,
And let her rest with sleep.
No life can truly offer
A peace more sure and deep....
God, give each true woman
Her own small house to keep

BE PROUD OF YOUR CALLING!

Dear mother in the home, beloved of the Lord, Your power as a mother, it can’t be ignored, You are the heart and the Queen of your home, Making it a haven so your children won't roam. As you nurture and teach your children each day, Discipline, train and watch over their play, May your heart fill with joy and overflow with love That God gave you these 'gifts' from heaven above. Each precious child is a ‘blessing’ from the Lord, You will no longer have time to ever be bored! You have the greatest career in all of the land As you teach your children to heed God's command. Lift up your head; be proud of your calling, It’s work for eternity - totally enthralling! Oh yes, I know you often feel tired and worn, But claim God's promises, His truth He has sworn. "The joy of the Lord is your strength," God has stated Whatever He’s promised cannot be negated! As you shine with His joy, you'll be a beacon to all That embracing God’s children is His will and call. Don't be intimidated by those who ignore God's way, Who limit their children and leave them each day, As you receive God's 'rewards' and at home with them stay You’ll be a light to save others from going astray. Your sweet, gentle spirit is precious in God's sight. As you serve in your home with all of your might You are revealing the spirit of Jesus the King Who showed by example to serve in everything. May God bless you and strengthen you each new morn, May you know His faithfulness with every dawn, May God's presence be with you in a mighty measure As you train up your 'arrows' for God's purpose and pleasure.
