I wrote this up as a mother/daughter hand out for my little girls' Sunday school class. I had it as a two-column spread so that the part for mothers and the part for daughters was side by side for comparison. But I can't do two columns on this blog. If you want to print this out, you could copy and paste onto your word processor and fix it up so that the verse runs across the page, at the top, like a title, and then have the mother/daughter part in two columns. “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands” (Proverbs 14:1).
A WISE mother builds her house by…
…keeping her house clean and tidy.
…being careful how she spends money.
…making sure everyone has the food and clothes they need.
…making sure everyone does their share of the work.
…honouring her husband and submitting to him
…encouraging her children to behave in a way that glorifies Christ—at home and in public.
…cultivating the fruit of the Spirit in her heart and in her children’s hearts.
…teaching her children to fear God and obey His commands.
A WISE daughter helps by…
…keeping her room, her work areas and her play spaces clean and tidy.
…not asking for things to be bought for her when she doesn’t really need them, and saving her own money for things she wants.
…helping to make meals, eating what she’s given without complaining, and keeping her clothes neat and clean.
…honouring and obeying her father
…doing her own work cheerfully, minding her own business, and helping others when she can.
…behaving in a way that glorifies Christ—at home, with her friends, and in public.
…cultivating the fruit of the Spirit in her own heart.
…fearing God and obeying His commands.
