9. VIGOROUS GROWING PLANTS. Psalm 144:12.

10. POLISHED CORNER STONES. Psalm 144:12.

What a powerful description for our daughters. The corner stone is the most important stone in the building - it is the pivot, foundation and plumb-line from which everything is measured. We must raise up our daughters to be mothers and homemakers for motherhood is the foundation of society.

It is the greatest career they will ever embark upon. Many daughters today are prepared for other careers instead of motherhood. This brings great confusion. When they get married they face a dilemma."What do I do with this career for which I have been trained?" They think it is more important than motherhood, and therefore don't fully embrace their mothering role. Because of this, they never really enjoy it. They have no understanding of their highest calling.

Motherhood is a dignified role. It is not to be degraded. We should raise our daughters to be who they are, daughters of the King of Kings, with beauty, regality and splendor. Other translations of this scripture say:

NAS - "fashioned as for a palace."
TLB - "Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall."
NIV - "carved to adorn a palace."

11. SIGNS AND WONDERS. Isaiah 8:18.

How exciting that our children are 'signs and wonders' for God!

12. LAMBS. Isaiah 40:11.

As many mothers change their vocabulary and call their littleones their 'lambs' instead of 'kids', they notice a new attitudetoward their children. They experience a fresh tenderness incaring for their offspring. They become more like the GoodShepherd, who does not leave His young, but carries them in Hisbosom.

13. WORK OF GOD'S HANDS. Isaiah 29:23,24.

How important it is for our children to realize they are not a nuisance to our pursuits in life. They should be reminded they are the 'work of God's hands' and it is our highest privilege in life to teach and train them on God's behalf.
