"My Motherly Business,"

 
"Is to build on holy ground
So you [my children] can become acclimated to love..."

 
 
"Here we will sing and laugh and learn
And smile and feast on good things
And forgive and bless."

 
 
"Dedicated to the Lord, our house will become his house.
And when we change residence from our house to his,
Perhaps we will hardly know the difference."

 
 
"We will dwell with him
On earth and in heaven
In the house of the Lord
today and forever."
 
-Carol Lynn Pearson
The Sweet, Still Waters of Home
 
 
Thought those were lovely words from the truly poignant little book my momma gave me for Mother's Day. 
 
Love the two munchkins who call me mother. 
Love all the women who show me what true motherhood looks like. 
Love that all of us, walking our various "paths of righteousness," can be led by the same Good Shepherd.

"Home can be a Heaven on Earth...." How blessed we are to 'taste' a little of what Heaven can be.
So happy to see your beautiful Mothering Skills. I admire all young women who work so hard at developing precious moments.
