Woman, It Is You That Have To

Woman, woman, it is you that have to glue the family; Hold them together, against the onslaught of the enemy. It is you woman, that have to do the house-hold duties; Work; please your husband, and children: many responsibilities. Woman, it is you; you, that have to do every occupation; Cleaner; chef; counselor; teacher; accountant, and physician. Woman, it is you; you, that do magic, to amaze everybody; You multi-task; multi-job; turn few to many: little to plenty. Woman it is you, it is you that have to shape the future ladies; Teach them to wash, cook, clean and take care of their babies. I know; I know, your concern is for the things of this world; About pleasing your husband, and your little boy and girl. But, impart self-esteem, self control, discipline and dignity; They really need character; to be able to preserve their purity. Woman, it is you, that have to mentor the young women; Guide them, train them; to be virtuous wives; for the men. Woman it is you, it is you that have to mould the nation; Every family and community: from generation to generation. You have to be the example: in posture, pride and dress; Continually, support and inspire them to be their very best. For the very best for your family, you are always yearning; Teaching; encouraging; motivating; and always affirming. That’s the reason; why you are the appropriate help meat; It is you, who make your husband and family, complete. Woman, it is you, it is you that have to accomplish all of this; If you don’t; happiness, your family, will surely miss. You need character, enormous strength, energy and vigor; To overcome, all of the life’s stress, challenges and pressure. It is difficult; but, you still have to find time for the Lord; Time to daily pray: and meditate; on the Holy Word, of God. Then, only then, will you be able to function at your best; Cast your cares on Him; take His burdens: You will find rest. By Dion Penville
