Oh, Mothers of young children, I bow before you in reverence. Your work is most holy. You are fashioning the destinies of immortal souls. The powers folded up in the little ones that you hushed to sleep in your bosoms last night, are powers that shall exist forever. You are preparing them for their immortal destiny and influence. Be faithful. Take up your sacred burden reverently. Be sure that your life is sweet and clean.--JR Miller
I love this quote! There is truly nothing in the world more important than being a parent. It is the best vocation there could ever be. The world tells us that it isn't important. The world tells us to ship our beloved children off to daycare to be raised by an overworked, underpaid caretaker who is also trying to raise twenty or thirty other innocent young children. There is no time for them to be cherished, to be molded, to be discipled. I urge you to say NO and make a way to stay home and raise, cherish and disciple your own little blessings. It is one of the few things you will do in life that will last for all eternity.
Be Blessed!
