Children Quotes
-
See to it, night and day, that you pray for your children. Then you will leave them a great legacy of answers to prayer, which will follow them all the days of their life.

To be a good mother - a woman must have sense, and that independence of mind which few women possess who are taught to depend entirely on their husbands.
