Christian Mothers
Proverbs 31:25 "Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised."
Quotations For Christian Mothers
You will find wonderful and instructive quotations on the work of Christian mothers on this page. Here is one example: "We have an earnest desire that woman shall fill the position which God originally designed, as her husband’s equal.We so much need mothers who are mothers not merely in name, but in every sense that the word implies. We may safely say that the dignity and importance of woman’s mission and distinctive duties are of a more sacred and holy character than the duties of man." {3T 565.2}

Mothers, Be Kind
I have given the title for this short but highly instructive excerpt on disciplining children. It is addressed to a step mother who was exacting and severe with her children. To ponder and pray about. Here are a few lines: "Whenever the mother can speak a word of commendation for the good conduct of her children, she should do so. She should encourage them by words of approval and looks of love. These will be as sunshine to the heart of a child and will lead to the cultivation of self-respect and pride of character."
A Simple Remedy For Severe Menstrual Cramps
