As a Wife, what is your purpose?

Good Morning, we're in another week what can we as wives do to make our families, homes, marriages even better? Lets take a look at the home....I love the saying, "Home is the heart is" I also believe "home is where we live, not at the house, at HOME!" Yes, we live in a house, BUT the house is a building, Home, are the ones who LIVE in the house!

So what makes a home? As a wife, it's the family seeing our true love. It's the children seeing you love you love the Lord, your husband. It's your children seeing your love for them. It's your husband seeing your love for the Lord and for him, and the children!

The following is taken from "God's Ideal Woman" Written by Clifford Lewis

The Stick Together Families

The stick-together families are happier by far

Than the brothers and sisters who take separate highways are.

The gladdest people living are the wholesome folks who make

A circle at the fireside that no power but death can break.

And the finest of conventions ever held beneath the sun

Are the little family gatherings when the busy day is done.

There are rich folk, there are poor folk, who imagine they are wise,

And they're very quick to shatter all the little family ties.

Each with strangers likes to wander, and with strangers likes

to play.

But it's bitterness they harvest, and it's empty joy they find.

For the children that are wisest are the stick-together kind.

There are some who seem to fancy that for gladness they

must roam.

That for smiles that are the brightest they must wander far

from home.

That the strange friend is the true friend, and they travel

far astray.

And they waste their lives in striving for a joy that's far

away.

But the gladdest sort of people, when the busy day is done,

Are the brothers and sisters who together share their fun.

It's the stick-together family that wins the joys of earth,

That hears the sweetest music and that finds the finest mirth;

It's the old home roof that shelters all the charm that life

can give;

There you find the gladdest play-ground, there the happiest

spot so live.

And O weary, wandering brother, if contentment you would

win,

Come you back unto the fireside and be comrade with your

kin.

So, do you as a wife make sure that your part of the home, seen by all? Your love? Your care? As a wife, mom, friend, we are to love, and do for those we love.

Tomorrow we'll look at another aspect of the Home and how we as wives are such a big part of it. Now please remember we aren't the Head of the home, but we are a very important part of the home.
