Beatitudes for Homemakers
Author: Duane & Marilyn Moll
Blessed is she whose daily tasks are a labor of love;
for her willing hands and happy heart translate duty into privilege, and her labor becomes a service to God and all mankind.
Blessed is she who opens the door to welcome both stranger and well-loved friend;
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 one 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 the 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 home;
for hers is a sacred trust that crowns her with dignity.
