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 [...]

Words of wisdom from Kelly Crawford over at Generation Cedar:
When Christians stop being “Kingdom-minded”, they stop making Kingdom choices. Choices like devoting a life to raising the next generation to love God, to honor authority and to live wisely. The very church of Christ has so degraded the blessing of children (and thus minimized a mother’s [...]

I love this reminder from Ann Voskamp:
Education is the atmosphere we breathe, the envelope of wonder that surrounds us, held by the gravity of our daily habits.
Sometimes an atmosphere can grow dangerously thin and lungs can gasp. So I want it right there on my wall — “The Lord is strength of my life.” [...]

A must read. This beautful and powerful post from Rachel Jankovic reminds us that in dying, we truly live:
But a Christian should have a different paradigm. We should run to to the cross. To death. So lay down your hopes. Lay down your future. Lay down your petty annoyances. Lay down your desire to be recognized. [...]

Mother! Mother! Watch and pray,
Fling not golden hours away!
Now or never, plant and sow,
Catch the morning’s earliest glow.
Mother! Mother! Guard the dew,
While it sparkles clear and true.
No delay! The scorching noon
May thy treasures reach too soon.
Mother! Point them to the sky,
Tell them of a loving eye,
That more tender is than thine,
And doth ever on them [...]
