Mother of the Home

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.
