"You are are a wife and mother because that is what I've called you to be. Much of what you do is hidden from the public eye. But I notice. Most of what you give is done without payment. But I am your reward.
Your husband cannot be the man I have called him to be without your support. Your influence on him is greater than you think and more powerful than you will ever know. I bless him through your service and honor him through your love.
Your children are precious to Me- even more precious than they are to you. I have entrusted them to your care to raise for Me. What you invest in them is an offering to Me.
You may never be in the public spotlight, but your obedience shines as bright light before Me.
Remember you are my servant . Do all to please Me. Continue On."
