Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?
The world sees in our conduct in our behaviour the proof that we are the real children of God.
I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun the darkness the winds are all listening to what we have to say.
The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author salvation for its end and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Remember that children marriages and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
As children as we learn what things are we are slowly learning to dismiss them visually. As adults entirely submerged in words and concepts we spend almost all of our time thinking and worrying about the past and the future hardly ever looking at or engaging with the world visually.
Our choices are going to determine the future for our children our children's children and their children. I take that responsibility very seriously.
