I’m […] Source: https://atoday.org/aunty-my-pastor-husband-regularly-beats-me/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=aunty-my-pastor-husband-regularly-beats-me
As we have seen, God intended for humans to work in one capacity or another. This part of our life (the working years) is usually about 40 years long. For many people this is the time when children are being brought up and educated and when the home and other major purchases are acquired. This can be a very intense time financially. It is a very sensitive time because the family is learning to work together, and its members are creating lifelong bonds. Financial stress can wreck the marriage at this point, and frequently does. Families in which both parties have a Christian commitment and are willing to follow biblical principles are much more stable.

In many cases, the husband is the main breadwinner, though often both spouses work. Of course, unexpected circumstances can arise — sickness, economic downturns, whatever — that make this ideal difficult. People need, then, to adjust accordingly.
The children who are brought into the world during this segment of life are called “a heritage from the LORD” (Psalm 127:3, NKJV). We must remember that children bring with them an awesome responsibility. The goal of Christian parents is to train their children to become independent adults in this life and to fit them for the life to come. Here are three points to help parents:

“MANAGING FOR THE MASTER Till He Comes” will show us that
God Is Working His Purpose Out – Hymn 225 in all our we do and say. May we be encouraged by this hymn for this quarter and that
In Our Work And In Our Play – Hymn 591 we will work until Jesus comes. Hence, a choice of theme hymns for this quarter.
The overall study of this week shows us that a happy life comes from Jesus:
Hymn 579 – Tis Love That Makes Us Happy when we
Seek Ye First The Kingdom – Hymn 224.
Our work ethic giving us the blessings of work (Monday) is sung in
Hymn 576 – Awake, Awake To Love And Work and
Hymn 375 – Work For The Night Is Coming, each hymn giving us principles to follow.
God In His Love For Us – Hymn 641 lent us this planet on which do work, as shown in the story of Adam and Eve.
On Tuesday we can ask
Savior, Teach Me – Hymn 193.
As we work with integrity, it is clearly seen that we should do “all to the glory of God” (Wednesday):
Hymn 341 – To God Be The Glory.
Seeking Godly Counsel (Thursday), we are encouraged to copy our God:
God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending – Hymn 636.
The final advice given on Friday is “to commit our ways to God” Education, p. 267:
Hymn 634 – Come, All Christians, Be Committed.
Today, and every day, we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633 because
That Glorious Day Is Coming – Hymn 209.
