God encouraged my heart with this tonight. How good He is!
"Here is a little mouth to kiss;
here are two more feet to make music
with their pattering about my nursery.
Here is a soul to train for God,
and the body in which it dwells
is worth all it will cost,
since it is abode of a kingly tenant.
I may see less of friends,
but I have gained one dearer than them all.
Yes, my precious baby,
you are welcome to your mother’s heart,
welcome to her time,
her strength,
her health,
to her most tender cares,
to her lifelong prayers!
Oh how rich I am, how truly, how marvelously blest!"
Elizabeth Prentiss in Stepping Heavenward
