"Mothers" Poem



Mothers

Blessed are the mothers

of the earth, for they have

combined the practical and

the spiritual into one workable

way of human life.

They have darned little

stockings...mended

little dresses, washed

little faces, and have pointed

little eyes to the stars, and

little souls to eternal things.


--William L. Stidger


It was parent-teacher conference night. My children make my heart so happy. We are not perfect. We have our moments of acting too silly for school, or moments of flunking a spelling test because of not studying. But overall, my little ones try hard and their teachers appreciate them. I am thankful for them because they are conscientious and independent workers. All they accomplish is because of their own values. I pray they keep it up, and keep joy in their hearts. Thank you, Lord, for the greatest blessings of my life. (and I thank Clay, too.)

Couldn't believe they have gotten so big. And what a great poem.
