Ladies:

Our husbands' role in the home
is so vital to the upbringing of
our children.

Please take time to PRINT this
page and place it on your
refrigerator, where your
husband will have to read
it EVERY DAY! Help him to feel
accountable for his role in
the upbringing of your family.

For our single ladies,
when you go looking for a
husband--make sure he
possesses the qualities below.
It doesn't matter about whether
he has money or success --
HE is a success if the Lord
is first and foremost
in his life.

Together, we can make our
family, where Christ reigns.

Say this prayer with me now:

Lord:

When you died on the cross,
your blood purchased every
square inch of __________________
(insert your address in the blank).
I refuse to let the devil
set foot on anything your
blood has purchased--and I set
the boundaries of our home FOR
YOU. I bind the devil from
entry into our home, and believe
your word that whatever is bound
earth shall be bound in heaven.

Make my spouse a living example of
Christ's love for us in our home.
Let him LEAD with love, kindness
and patience.

A Father's Beatitudes

Blessed is the man that receives
the Heavenly Father as Lord of his Life.

Blessed is the father that will
lay down his life for his wife and children.

Blessed is the father that offers
to wash the dishes and tend to the baby,
so mother can have a break, even after
his long day at work.

Blessed is the father that can
attentively and patiently listen
when he gets home, to crying children,
and an exhausted and frustrated wife.
Then be able with a smile, to offer
comforting and soothing words,
regardless of his feelings
and frustrations.

Blessed is the father that takes
time to read the Bible to his children
and pray with them, teaching them to
receive his Heavenly Father
as their Lord.

Blessed is the father that disciplines
his children with love, making sure his
life is a loving example of his
Heavenly Father.

Blessed is the father that can
patiently listen to his teenagers,
when they are telling him that he
is too old and doesn't understand
today's world.

Blessed is the father that spends
late nights and lonely hours in
intercessory prayer for his wife
and family, so he will be able to
allow his Heavenly Father's love,
patience, longsuffering, meekness,
temperance, forbearance and
forgiveness, to be seen and
expressed in demanding
and opportune moments.

Blessed is the father that is
able to praise the Lord while the
house has run amuck, mending his
families hurts, frustrations,
disciplining, and handling financial
disruption, all the while, knowing
the right words to say in love.

Blessed is the father that teaches
and leads his family into becoming
a Family of God.

Blessed is this humbled father,
this unselfish man, who lovingly
leads this home, as it has been
taught to him by the Heavenly Father,
through His son Jesus Christ!

Amen
