Encouraging young ladies to be joyful in the life God has given them.

The Hopechest

bouquetAre you interested in saving things for when you are older and married?  Well, I am.  I have already started my hopechest, but even if you are older, you can still start saving things.

A hopechest can be a wooden box made especially for being a hopechest, or it can be a cardboard box.  A hopechest is what ever it is that you are saving things in, even if it is a bottom drawer or cabinet. 

The 'things' can be anything that you want to save for when you are older or married.  Following is a list of ideas of things that you might want to consider putting in your hopechest.

  • hot pads (also known as pot holders)
  • dish cloths
  • crocheted or knitted blankets, including baby blankets
  • baby clothes
  • special things that were given to you or that you made when you were younger
  • favorite toys or clothes that you would like your future children to enjoy
  • embroidered sheets, dish towels, or any other household linens

Psalm 5:11

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You.
