graceful words...

"Thank God, 


O women,

 for the quietude of your home,

and 

that you are queen it it.

Men come at eventide to the home;

 but all day long you are there , 

beautifying it, sanctifying it, 

adorning it, blessing it.

 Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. 

Better be there 


than carry the purse of a princess.

 It may be a very humble home. 

There may be no carpet on the floor. 

There may be no pictures on the wall. 

There may be no silks in the wardrobe;

 but, 

by your faith in God,

and your cheerful demeanor,

 you may garniture that place 

with more splendor than the 

upholsterer's hand ever kindled."

 ---Reverend T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D.

really spoke to my heart this week

as I wade through *stuff*

May I keep  perspective.
