The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Infancy’s the tender fountain,
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother’s first to guide [...]

The Difference Between Obstinacy And Firmness
To stand by error, and the truth refuse;
To close the eyes against unwelcome light;
The crooked paths, through prejudice, to choose;
For one’s own will, and thoughts, and ways to fight;
To fear to have the sleeping conscience stirred,
By letting in truth’s quick and searching ray;
When ignorance to knowledge is preferred,
And dull obscurity [...]

From Michelle at “She Looketh Well” :
I suspect you might poo-poo what I am writing to you about because I did for years. I always had to do and do and do. I wasn’t doing enough. I was selfish or lazy. Learning all I have about our health, namely our adrenal glands, I now see [...]

From Lea Ann Garfias over at LAF:
I have not always felt “quiet confidence” in rearing little dynamos. To the contrary, I was fairly certain my first toddler was destined for juvie. He began several mornings in a row by shaking his little fist in my face, declaring, “I will not obey you today, Mommy!” A [...]

Important reminders from my sister Clara:
It’s so easy to rush through them in an effort to get to “the things that matter”. We hurry the kids through breakfast so we can “get on with the day”; we count down the minutes til naptime so we can “get something done” while they sleep. We tell them [...]

An excellent reminder from Rachel Jankovic:
If you are a Christian woman who loves the Lord, the gospel is important to you. It is easy to become discouraged, thinking that the work you are doing does not matter much. If you were really doing something for Christ you would be out there, somewhere else, doing it. [...]

More wisdom and encouragement from KimC:
The easy answer is that I got through the days one at a time. Anyone can run a house with 6 little ones for a day, right? Just one day? All it takes is 3 meals (2 if you cheat or run so late that breakfast turns into brunch), a [...]
