'I Want A Man, Not A Mouse' by Nancy Campbell, Charles and Carolyn Engles, Little house on the Prairie

(Anyone remember Charles and Caroline Ingalls?)

I WANT A MAN, NOT A MOUSE!

As for the one who shares my life,
It was my choice to be his wife!
And for our jobs, if I could choose,
I wouldn’t want to wear his shoes.

No, I won’t sign the lib’s petition
To do away with wife’s submission,
I’d be a fool to boss my spouse,
I want a man and not a mouse!

I do not have to prove my might
For we are equal in God’s sight,
But we’re to function differently,
God made us that way purposely.

He’s my provider, what a gem,
And I’m a helper fit for him.
To live the role God planned for me
With joy, makes me completely free!

~Nancy Campbell, Above Rubies

  1. We used to love Little House. Still do in fact, lol! I was just watching it today while I did some work around the house.

    Love the poem, especially the part about wanting a man not a mouse, lol! So true.

    You always do such a great job with visiting everyone and leaving a comment. I don’t know how you do it. I had over 100 last week on my linky party and I just couldn’t visit them all, although I wanted to. Thanks for hosting today!

  2. Good evening, Jacqueline, I hope your day went well. Thank you so much for hosting this linky party. When I was 9 years old my family and I moved to a new town, right after school was out. In the new town I had no friends yet, so over the summer I read the entire series of Little House On the Prairie books on a bunk in our travel trailer parked at the side of the house. That was a very memorable summer for me and even without friends, I had a wonderful time!
    I hope the rest of your week is fabulous and your weekend is full of wonderful memories!

  3. Yes, I remember Little House. How I wish TV programming was on that level now. I suppose it wouldn’t make it in today’s market without some violence or sex thrown in.
    Thanks for hosting each week too.
    Have a blessed week,
    Gail

  7. Thank you so much for hosting another link up party! Love to read through the selections I see every week!
    Blessings to you,

  8. I still love Charles. We watched Little House every Sunday night as a family. Right after Hee Haw. I have the first two seasons on DVD and am watching them now with my kids. I can’t believe it but they love the show too! Thanks for your lovely link-up.

  11. I enjoyed the poem you shared. I’ve been married for 27yrs. My husband and I are Navy veterans. He retired with 20yrs of service. I left the service after 6yrs. Choose to put my marriage first and supporting my husbands military career. It’s not always easy but I know that this was part of God’s plan for us.
    Thank you for the Little House picture it’s one of our favorite TV shows.

  12. I just found your website from a link in Strangers & Pilgrims on earth about herbal medicine. I’ve been reading about that & so much more. I’ve enjoyed discovering this site. I’d like to subscribe but really prefer email subscriptions. I haven’t seen that option & wonder if there’s any chance you might offer it. Thank you for a wonderful site just filled with important information.

    • Hello, Deb,
      I am blessed by your very kind words. Thank you 🙂 JES from Strangers & Pilgrims is a wonderful friend, so I am glad you know about her!

  13. Yay! It’s Wednesday 😀 I’ve been waiting, seems like such a long time-but can’t have been more than 6 days! haha :] So now I get to enter a post… fun! Thank you for hosting and for always having such lovely, encouraging things to share!

  15. Love the poem! I keep hearing about these series/books? But never read/watched.
    Very inspirational 🙂
    Thank you! I think I finally understood this “link-up” thing…I may try next time 🙂

    • Oh, I will look forward to it 🙂 Will be watching for, you, but leave a comment to tell me what # you are! Blessings!

    • Nicole, I love the ram and doe that was forged for you!
      I can’t get in to comment on your blog! I can read it, but not comment 🙁 So sorry ! Many blessings!~

  17. Thank you for hosting again. I was “introduced” to Nancy Campbell (authoress of the poem) when a friend found a copy of her Motherhood book in a rental property and gave it to me. It really encouraged me to keep swimming upstream. (I trust you know what I mean by that). Have a blessed day!

    • Oh, I do, Hilary 🙂 Let’s swim together~ It’s our daily exercise and keeps us strong!! Haha!
      Blessings!
