This is where God planned for children to be nurtured and taught, not in daycares away from their mothers. Children need their mothers.
I read this quote when raising my children and it has always been a challenge to me. It is so true that just as camellias bruise so easily so we can hurt the hearts of our children—a harsh and unkind word can be like a sword in their spirit. Brushing them off because we are too busy doing other things can cause rejection in their hearts. Ask God for His grace each day as you nurture and train these living and eternal souls that God has so graciously given to you.
Don’t despise the time it takes to prepare meals. Every meal is another opportunity for dialogue, discussion, and interaction with your children. Think of how you can make every meal a special occasion. Think of how you can make every meal a love affair. Make your family meal times the most wonderful moments of every day.
Mother, you are the best teacher for your children.
Motherhood is a powerful and influential career for good or for bad. We determine the destiny of nations and future generations. It is a full time career.
Don’t you love gathering your family around the table? The best times!
