This is my prayer today for all mothers everywhere:
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
Walk with the King!
Thank you for this reminder! It's so easy to lose sight of the responsibility we have to train our children amidst the day to day pressures. And in the early years it can be easy to not see the potential...to think it will never end. I love this quote because it reminds me to focus on the end goals...to focus on the godly men my sons will become.
