"Here is a little mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God, and the body in which it dwells is worth all it will cost, since it is abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mother’s heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, to her most tender cares, to her life-long prayers! Oh how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blest!" ~ Elizabeth Prentiss (from Stepping Heavenward) Have you read this book? Elizabeth Prentiss is probably best-known today for her hymns, but this little book is a treasure. It is written as the journal of a young woman who becomes wife and mother. I love its description of a soul drawing nearer to God. |
