“Someone asked a mother whose children had turned out very well the secret by which she had prepared them for usefulness and for the Christian life. Without hesitation she answered: ‘When I washed my children, I prayed that they might be cleansed by the Saviour’s precious blood. When I put on their garments, I prayed that they might be arrayed in the garments of salvation and in the robe of God’s righteousness. When I gave them food, I prayed that they might be fed with the Bread of Life. When I started them on the road to school, I prayed that their faith might be as the shining light, brighter and brighter to the perfect day. When I put them to sleep, I prayed that they might be enfolded in the Saviour’s everlasting arms.’ No wonder her children were early led to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and became adornments to the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things! What a joy to that mother’s heart when her children rise up and call her blessed! Now that her secret has been revealed, may hosts of other mothers follow it” (Moments for You, May/June, 1988) Comments are closed.
