The High Call of Home-making...


From a grandma's vantage-point I can say from this...
 ...to this ...
is a blink!


 ...to mothers/homemakers and future mothers/homemakers

 Thou, Keeper of love's sacred springs
Where childhood's feet splash through
Thou, daughter of the King of kings
 The world depends on you

Thou, hand that rocks the cradle, oh
Though humble seems thy role 
There is no greater charge, oh no
Than that of a child's soul

Thou, matriarch with tender voice
Thou mother in the home
'Child makes a choice and then the choice
Will make who they become'
 
...so, thou with baby in thy arms
Or children at thy knee
Be of good cheer, thy presence warms
Both home and family

Thy gentle voice is like a song
Thy touch, like hope unfurled
Thy common toil should rank among
The grandest in the world

Thy confidence in God to guide
In pathways, true and right
Thy mother-mild to kneel beside
Thy little child at night

Oh, may the comfort of thy love
And faithful 'being there'
Be like a poignant symbol of
God's faithful love and care

Thou, teacher of obedience
May love's humility
Make home a royal residence
For God and family

 Have I not commanded you? 
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, 
for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
