Hi Mrs. U--Thank you for sharing this story, I booked marked it and will read it in a little bit.
Regarding your comment on my blog---Yes, I remember that we both started blogging at about the same time--and I would have loved to have met you while I was in Georgia:) My husband will be in Georgia for a few days in August, I am staying behind because of the new baby--but all of Kevin's family is out there, so I am sure one day we may be able to meet (I miss Georgia so much)...:)
Have a wonderful weekend.

Wonderful story...
Thanks for sharing!
I have read this before and LOVE it. And it's so very true. This is what is happening in so many homes today: both spouses work, more money is gained, yet their homes and lives are a mess. Thanks for reminding us of that great story, Mrs. U.
That was a beautiful story. I totally enjoyed reading it. It was very encouraging.
I remember our teacher reading that to our group of 17-year-old girls in church. It made me so eager to be a wife and homemaker! I always meant to have a lacy handkerchief framed and displayed somewhere in my home, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Do they even sell lacy hankies anymore?
I hope you will enjoy the continuation of this story at www.whenqueensrideby.blogpsot.com. It is called Jennie's Journey HOme.
Blessings,
Suzanne
