A Wife's Calling
I made a vow; I said the words; I gave the pledge; I gave a ring; I took a ring; I gave myself; I trusted God; and said the words and meant the words...in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in good times and in bad; so I'm standing now, and I wont sit down, let down, slow down, fall down, or look down.
Where hopelessness abounds, I will put my hope in God who is the Author and Finisher of Our Faith.
I fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me on that day. 2 Timothy 4:7-8
