June 25: Christian Fellowship.
From the Cradle.
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness....Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: "There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!"--Proverbs 31:25-29, NLT
THE MOTHER SHOULD CULTIVATE a cheerful, contented, happy disposition. Every effort in this direction will be abundantly repaid in both the physical well-being and the moral character of her children.--The Ministry of Healing, 374.
There is a God above, and the light and the glory from His throne rests upon the faithful mother as she tries to educate her children to resist the influence of evil. No other work can equal hers in importance. She has not, like the artist, to paint a form of beauty upon canvas, nor, like the sculptor, to chisel it from marble. She has not, like the author, to embody a noble thought in words of power, nor, like the musician, to express a beautiful sentiment in melody. It is hers, with the help of God, to develop in a human a beautiful likeness of the divine.--The Ministry of Healing, 377.
Teach them to enjoy the beauties of nature and in useful employment to exercise systematically all the powers of body and mind. Bring them up to have sound constitutions and good morals, to have sunny dispositions and sweet tempers. Impress upon their tender minds the truth that God does not design that we should live for present gratification merely, but for our ultimate good. Teach them that to yield to temptation is weak and wicked; to resist, noble and manly. These lessons will be as seeds sown in good soil, and they will bear fruit that will make your hearts glad.--The Ministry of Healing, 386.
