The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Proverbs 31:11
"Home is the true wife's kingdom. There, first of all places,
she must be strong and Christ-like. She may touch life outside in
many ways if she can do it without slighting the duties that are hers
within her own doors. But if any calls for her service are declined, they
should not be the duties of her home. These are hers alone and not
another's.
Very largely does the wife hold in her hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness
and the highest good of the hearts that nestle in the home. The best husband--the
truest, the noblest, the gentlest, the richest-hearted--cannot make his home
happy, if his wife is not, in every reasonable sense, a helpmate to
him.
In the last analysis, home happiness depends on the
wife.
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere.
Her hands fashion its beauty.
Her heart makes its love.
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine--that no wife should consider any
price too great to pay to be the light, the joy,
the blessing, and the inspiration of her home!
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer
and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could
find to do beneath the skies!"

Can I ask you how you got a personal banner on the top of your blog? I have Typepad also and pay to have the customize option but cannot for the life of me figure it out. :) Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Wouldn't you know less than an hour after I posted I figured it out! I spent all day trying to figure it out and then I saw that little "theme builder" section and wah-lah!
