Beattitudes for a Housewifeby Mary Mae Oesch 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 from www.urbanhomemaker.com
