"Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house." Psalm 128:3
She - the wife - who is the heart of the house, making it a home, she is the reward to a man who fears the Lord! (Enough children to fill a table is also part of the reward, if you read on. I'm sure your husband is glad to know that one.)
For some reason, it warms my heart to know:
1. I am part of my man's reward.
2. God considers me to be the Heart of the home.
3. My place - the point of my focus - is to be at home.
Are you being the kind of gal who makes a good reward? Is your husband really thanking God for this present that was given to him, or is he saying, "Uh, no thanks!"?

"The heart of the home." I really feel like that. I know the need for me to be here when I go away for the day, and I come home to chaos, and the kids greeting me at the door, waiting for direction.
Considering myself a gift to my husband is a good thing. Thanks for this post.
