- Find opportunities to serve God in your house
- Use your means to serve God and provide for others
- Trust God with your children
“Being a king, an emperor or a president is mighty small potatoes compared to a mother or the teacher of children. To teach a child to love truth and hate a lie, to love purity and hate vice is greater than inventing a flying machine that will take you to the moon.” – Billy Sunday
Mother’s Work
Nobody knows of the work it makes to keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the steps it takes, nobody knows - but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes, which kisses only heal;
Nobody pained by naughty blows, Nobody - only mother.
Nobody knows of sleepless care bestowed on baby mother;
Nobody knows of the tender prayer, Nobody - only mother
Nobody knows of the lessons taught of loving one another;
Nobody knows of patience sought, Nobody - only mother.
