THE PRECIOUS WORKING WOMAN (Cont’d)

Never neglect your husband’s needs on the pretext of giving attention to your children. This has always proved to be a mistake that tears up marriages today. What did God say? “It is not good that man (not children) should be alone, I will make him (not children) a helpmeet for him. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Gen 2:18, 24) Work out time for togetherness, excluding your kids. An hour or so to talk on things should be mandatory every two days but no hard and fast rule, excluding your kids. Bed talks can relieve a lot of tension.

Even though you are a working woman, your husband expects a decent meal from you from time to time. No food outside or from the restaurant will be more delicious and palatable than the one made by a wife. Learn not to bombard him with the troubles of your children when you are supposed to be resting.

No matter what the problem might be, watch for a convenient time to do so. For all you know, he too might be having burdens in his heart that he wishes to off load to a listening ear. Therefore learn how to care and share.

Generally, women at work are noted for their organizational skills. They know where work materials are placed, where things are put in different compartments, cabinets, etc. You can be sure that these are well arranged and properly tagged for easy identification. Women have the acumen of picking up the thread of a work hurriedly left the previous day with unparalled precision as if there had been no break at all. A godly woman would not arrive to work latewithout a solid reason. She puts in the number of hours expected of her by her employers. She is the efficient and effective worker and has the capacity to manage crisis men would shudder at most times.

Hers is the shoulder upon which other women folks would lean and weep in any emergency. Her work attitude should reprove the lazy and the indolent. It’s good to chip in here that she should find time to present Jesus Christ to her fellow workers, employees and have fellowship time with them. In conclusion, the onus is on you to fulfill your mission as a wife, a mother, a worker, a comforter, a care-taker, homemaker and of course a “help-meet” (Gen 2:18).The grace of God is sufficient for you. (2 Cor 9:8) “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
