Someday My Prince Will Come . . .



      Someday! But when will it happen? Oh, how we long for that day! But we must not sit around, brooding and daydreaming. We must trustingly place the future in the hands of our faithful Savior and patiently wait. We must also be busy, "redeeming the time," preparing for the time when the day finally arrives. Will we be ready?
 
Homemaking
     "As daughters, wives, and mothers, God has given us a special responsibility to love and care for our families. Such things may include: keeping a tidy home, making healthy meals, finding pretty ways to decorate your home on a small budget, etc.
     The woman in Proverbs 31 was busy caring for the needs of her husband, family, and in the community.
     'She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness' (Proverbs 31:27). How wise those words are. As it is also said, 'Be not weary in well doing.' "

In the Kitchen
      When we are married, we must know how to - and be able to - put three tasty, nutritious meals on the table every day. They must appeal not only to the taste buds and the stomach, but also to the senses of sight, smell, and touch.The menu must fit together and make sense (you don't often eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, mashed potatoes, and a breakfast omelette in the same meal), but there must also be a variety of colors, smells, tastes, and textures. No matter how handy and helpful are mothers are now, they will not be available to tell us what this word means, or how to fix this, or how to triple that recipe, or how long or at what temperature to cook a certain dish, or what to fix for a certain meal. We must know how to do or decide these things on our own. Are you ready?

Needlework
      How about sewing, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, embroidery, all those wonderful avenues of handwork? Do you know how to do any of them? Proverbs 31 tells us that the virtuous woman "worketh willingly with her hands." Do you know how to make clothes? Can you mend buttonless shirts, ripped pants, torn skirts and dresses? Can you make those pretty things that, when present in a home, are the telltale signs of a "woman's touch"?

A Handbasket of Ideas

Children
     How good are you with children? Do they love it when you're around? Do they love you? Do they hate it when you leave? When you babysit your younger siblings, can you keep the home happy and peaceful? Are you gentle and kind, yet firm when firmness is necessary? Are you the kind of teenaged girl that parents like their children to look up to?
