The Housewife and God..

The House Wife and God I sweep and wash the dishes, I hang clothes on the line. I iron the shirts and blouses, I make the windows shine. I cook the breakfasts,suppers, I spread the beds each day. I sew on hooks and buttons, Put coats and toys away. I hear the children's lessons And give their nightly bath. I listen to their blessings, And tuck them into bed. I know my tasks are humble As each day I plod, But I know they have beauty Within the sight of God. ~Enola Chamberlin~ Artist: Lynde Mott

I sweep and wash the dishes,
I hang clothes on the line.
I iron the shirts and blouses,...
I make the windows shine.

I cook the breakfasts,suppers,
I spread the beds each day.
I sew on hooks and buttons,
Put coats and toys away.

I hear the children's lessons
And give their nightly bath.
I listen to their blessings,
And tuck them into bed.

I know my tasks are humble
As each day I plod,
But I know they have beauty
Within the sight of God.

    Knowing how important it is to have our focus on our tasks...it gives us purpose to worship Him in the doing.

    Thank you for sharing...so good to read your posts again my friend.
