Just Pray For A Tough Hide And

If I Cannot Give My Children A Perfect Mother I Can At Least Give Them More Of The One They've Got--and Make That One More Loving. I Will Be Available. I Will Take Time To Listen, Time To Play, Time To Be Home When They Arrive From School, Time To Counsel And Encouerage.

We Cannot Pray And Remain The Same.

Pity The Married Couple Who Expect Too Much From One Another.

It Is A Foolish Woman Who Expects Her Husband To Be To Her That Which Only Jesus Christ Himself Can Be: Always Ready To Forgive, Totally Understanding, Unendingly Patient, Invariably Tender And Loving, Unfailing In Every Area, Anticipating Every Need, And Making More Than Adequate Provision. Such Expectations Put A Man Under An Impossible Strain

Dear God, I Prayed, All Unafraid (as We're Inclined To Do), I Do Not Need A Handsome Man But Let Him Be Like You; I Do Not Need One Big And Strong Nor Yet So Very Tall, Nor Need He Be Some Genius, Or Wealthy, Lord, At All; But Let His Head Be High, Dear God, And Let His Eye Be Clear, His Shoulders Straight, Whate'er His State, Whate'er His Earthly Sphere; And Let His Face Have Character, A Ruggedness If Soul, And Let His Whole Life Show, Dear God, A Singleness Of Goal; Then When He Comes (as He Will Come) With Quiet Eyes Aglow, I'll Understand That He's The Man I Prayed For Long Ago.
