GIVE THAT PAYCHECK DAILY


He says"he brings home the bacon
thats the income due
but in God's house there are many incomes
that are shared between me and you

there is the income of spiritual strength
and the value of respect and care
there is income of our feelings
and a pot of gold in what we share

So don't just think cause you pay the bills
you owe nothing else to your wife
for the Lord requires full deposits
on each account in life

She may not have a money job
but her dues is paid on time
for she runs the house you live in
and takes care of the children just fine

The vows that God created
were to connect two as one
in all aspects of the soul
giving you a guiding model His Holy Son

So wife don't think your husband
only has to make ends meet
for he is to honor and respect you
for this union to be complete

And husband don't think that
money is the only key
for God wants you to love and respect her
with true feelings unconditionally

Listen to each other
grow from the wisdom within
don't rob each other of the feel
that love seeds grew to begin

Hold high the choice you made
till death do you part
love each other richly
from the depths of your hearts

For money is whats required
to pay the household bills
but the rich treasures of the soul and spirit
are what you always need to be forfilled

So handle with care the bars of gold
that each of you are made of
and give that paycheck daily
the one signed by God the owner of love

Very good Rose Mary!
Excellent vows, a real heart-felt message. I think too many times we can lose the proper prospective on a marriage. Your poem really brings home the love priority.

Rose Mary, I started out grinning but toward the middle, so much truth was being shared by your lovely poem and by the ending, I was almost in tears. If the boys were only taught this in their youth, grow up knowing their roles as head of the home, in all ways, life would be so much easier for Christian mothers. Ephesians 5:22; "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." I am running a copy for frig. as a friendly reminder to all the men in my family.  blessings to you, marcy

Rose,OOOPPPssss!  My Browser, or what-ya-ma-call-it, is doing double takes on me today.
So, when this happens, I just say I liked it twice as much.    Marcy
