"Together"

by Mrs. B
​from Virtuous Daughters, June/July 2020~Volume 20, Number 2

You ask me how to raise a virtuous daughter?
I sit and ponder that thought
I look back to babyhood
To days of togetherness
Teaching and training
Real life
Learning patience and consistency
Together
Learning to be kind, to love the Lord
To use an inside voice…
To put Jesus first, others second and yourself last.
To read His word daily
To discuss it
Together
To obey Daddy
To sing joyfully
To pray for our family, our friends,
church and leaders
Together
To have fun and enjoy life
Time uninterrupted
Together
To cook, camp, hike, do crafts, ride bikes,
To read and more
Together
To learn service, help a neighbor, cook a meal,
to sew a project, offer a helping hand
Together
Now, I’m a grandma.
It’s hard to believe
Two young women still at home
To still teach and learn and grow
Together
We pray for each other
We help each other
We have fun together
We grow together
I thank the Lord for His many blessings
For all He has given me
For these precious daughters!
They are His
I have tried to raise them
For Him
For His glory
Alone.
