WHEREAS, Much positive publicity is being generated honoring wives and mothers who pursue employment outside the home for personal fulfillment, financial reward, and independence; and
WHEREAS, We recognize the accomplishments of women who choose such careers, and we also praise the contributions of full-time homemakers; and
WHEREAS, There has been a lack of recognition for the great benefits full-time homemakers provide for their families, churches, and nation; and
WHEREAS, Full-time homemakers have shown dedication, diligence, and unwavering commitment to their families and to the Lord who has ordained the home as a workplace.
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, That we, the messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, June 16-18, 1987, honor the rich and valuable contributions of full-time wives and mothers who through their service and self-sacrifice have strengthened their families, enriched our nation, and pleased our God by honoring His purposes in their lives each day.
