She rises, also, while it is yet night...

We are not talking about a fitful night sleep, like I had last night. Brooding and tossing over words said or not said in haste or in remorse. She rises with the producing mentality set before her. She rises to "make the donuts" so to speak. She rises to go to work on time. She rises to "clean the kitchen" and prepare her "servants": Mr. Dishwasher and Mrs. Coffeemaker and Sally Oven, etc. for their duties of the day. I love the scene in Spencer's Mountain where the father wakes every body up and he has to stoke the wood burning stove and the oldest son has to milk the cow and carry the littlest one to the potty and get himself ready for school. We have so gotten away from the teamwork that it is to get out of the house. This kind of teamwork is what builds a team. Let us do the work that is before us in the household to the glory of God and see if God doesn't bless it to raise us up to influence in this world.
