Beatitudes for Homemakers



Blessed is the wife who greetest each day with the thought “This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Blessed is the wife who taketh time each morning to bathe her soul in the word of God and prayer.

Blessed is the wife who refuseth to think upon her husband’s faults.

Blessed is the wife who puteth her husband’s wishes before her own and provideth well for his spiritual, mental and physical needs.

Blessed is the wife who is never heard to contradict her husband in public.

Blessed is the wife who waits to bring complaint to her husband till he is neither tired nor hungry.

Blessed is the wife who is contented with whatever her husband is able to provide.

Blessed is the wife who considereth her home to be a palace and not her prison.

Blessed is the wife who counts it a joy to keep her home clean and orderly for the sake of her husband.

Blessed is the wife who would joyfully welcome a bundle of joy into her heart and her home.

Blessed is the wife who lives each day in anticipation of the heavenly Bridegrooms return.

I think that I need to print this out and hang it up. I definitly fall short in some areas. I need a reminder every now and then.

OH!! I think I'm going to print that out and stick it in a nice prominent place on the wall where I can read it! Did you make it up??

Heaven's no Coffee Catholic...I am not that brilliant.
But when I saw it somewhere, it was like a light bulb moment went off and I was like "I have to post this!".

Is there a 'Beatitudes for Husbands' ? It would make a nice companion piece to the one for Homemakers.

How lovely! What a good idea these other ladies have to print it out! I think I will too!

Is it okay if I post it on my blog? I think we should spread it around!
