5. Building a Palace is Messy A construction site is a messy place with raw materials scattered everywhere. gradually the rooms begin to take shape and eventually they are finished, the mess is all cleaned up, and a beautiful palace emerges. It's the same when we are creating a home/family. there will be problems, setbacks and challenges. Family life can be very messy. In the messiness of raising a family, there will be times when we lose sight of how beautiful the finished product will be. That is why we are instructed to not grow weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we don't give up (Galations 6:9) www.NigerianBridesAcademy.com

A Completed Palace is Worth the Investment A completed palace is beautiful and pleasant to be in that you forget the problems associated with construction and just sit back to admire and enjoy the fruit of your labour! She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. ~ Proverbs 31:27-31 www.NigerianBridesAcademy.com
