The Work of a Faithful Mother
Many a discouraged mother folds her tired hands at night, and feels as if she had, after all, done nothing, although she has not spent an idle moment since she rose. Is it nothing that your little helpless children have had some one to come to with all their childish griefs and joys? Is it nothing that your husband feels “safe” when he is away to his business, because your careful hand directs everything at home? Is it nothing, when his business is over, that he has the blessed refuge of home, which you have that day done your best to brighten and refine? O weary and faithful mother, you little know your power when you say, “I have done nothing.” There is a book in which a fairer record than this is written over against your name.—Exchange.
