Our High Calling

I am borrowing this picture and this quote.  It speaks to my heart and I hope it will yours.
From "A Wise Woman Builds Her Home" www.proverbs14verse1.blogspot.com

I WORK FOR A KING

"I work for a king.  He has put me in charge of His home.
When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions
and His children, I do not want to be found wanting.  I want to
do my best.  Everything I have is on loan from Him.  I have
room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him.
Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all
my work.  I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere
attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation.  How
I manage my home is a form of worship to Him."

"Serve the LORD with gladness..." Psalm 100:2

"This job has been given to me to do.
   Therefore, it is a gift.
   Therefore, it is a priviledge.
   Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God.
   Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done
       for Him.
   Here, not somewhere else, I may learn
      God's way.
  In this job, not some other,  God looks for faithfulness."

Titus 2:4
"That they (the older women) admonish the young women to love their husbands,
    to love their children, to be disreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient
    to their own husbands, that the Word of God may not be blasphemed."
