just in time for lenten season..

i got this from the book i was talking about...

Beatitudes for a wife....

Blessed is she whose daily tasks are a labor of love; for her willing hands and happy heart translate the duty into privilege and her labor becomes a service to God and all mankind
Blessed is she who opens the door to welcome both strangers and well-loved friends; 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 humanity.
Blessed is she who scours and scrubs; for well she knows that cleanliness is an expression of godliness.
Blessed is she whom children love; for the love of a child is more to be valued 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 cobwebs of confusion; for her faith will triumph over all adversity.
Blessed is she who serves laughter and smiles with every meal; for her buoyancy of spirit is an aid to mental and physical digestion.
Blessed is she who preserves the sanctity of the Christian home; for hers is a sacred trust that crowns her with dignity.

..amen..
so serious...
