Drinkies!

Oh, the joyful joy of drinkies with dear friends!

The relaxing shove I needed back into the land of the living, verdant soul restored.

Talk and talk, laugh and love, a veritable hug in a bubbling glass.

Drinkies, bring on more drinkies. The feeling that I'm me and more, not (just) a mother!

Oh, it's non-alcoholic, if you're wondering...who needs alcohol when you've got friends?

Gotta love, friends ... but ... remember ... you are never 'just' a mother!

BE PROUD OF YOUR CALLING!

Dear mother in the home, beloved of the Lord,

Your power as a mother, it can’t be ignored,

You are the heart and the Queen of your home,

Making it a haven so your children won't roam.

As you nurture and teach your children each day,

Discipline, train and watch over their play,

May your heart fill with joy and overflow with love

That God gave you these 'gifts' from heaven above.

Each precious child is a ‘blessing’ from the Lord,

You will no longer have time to ever be bored!

You have the greatest career in all of the land

As you teach your children to heed God's command.

Lift up your head; be proud of your calling,

It’s work for eternity - totally enthralling!

Oh yes, I know you often feel tired and worn,

But claim God's promises, His truth He has sworn.

"The joy of the Lord is your strength," God has stated

Whatever He’s promised cannot be negated!

As you shine with His joy, you'll be a beacon to all

That embracing God’s children is His will and call.

Don't be intimidated by those who ignore God's way,

Who limit their children and leave them each day,

As you receive God's 'rewards' and at home with them stay

You’ll be a light to save others from going astray.

Your sweet, gentle spirit is precious in God's sight.

As you serve in your home with all of your might

You are revealing the spirit of Jesus the King

Who showed by example to serve in everything.

May God bless you and strengthen you each new morn,

May you know His faithfulness with every dawn,

May God's presence be with you in a mighty measure

As you train up your 'arrows' for God's purpose and pleasure.
