“The hand the rocks the cradle rules the world!”
Mothers of the next generation are the ones who are molding the future! Motherhood is just about the greatest calling in the World! What an important job a mother has!–Of course, it may sometimes not SEEM very important taking care of nothing but a baby. But don’t ever despise it or minimise it. It is a serious sobering responsibility! Who knows how important that child may be to the Lord one day?
Motherhood is a big job! It takes the strength of Samson, the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job & the faith of Abraham, the insight of Daniel & the courage & administrative ability of David!–It also takes the Love of God, that’s for sure!–What a job!
The thing that makes a mother so wonderful is that self-sacrificial spirit that is willing to sacrifice her own time, her strength & even her health for the sake of that child. Any mother can have a baby, but it takes a REAL mother to learn how to “train up a child in the way he should go!” (Pro.22:6)
“The bravest battle that ever was fought,
Shall I tell you where & when?
On the maps of the World you will find it not,
It was fought by the mothers of men!”

“摇动摇篮的手，统治世界！”
下一代人的母亲，在塑造将来！作母亲，几乎是世上最伟大的召唤！做母亲，是一个多么重要的工作！当然，只照顾一个婴儿有时看来或许并不是非常重要的。但是千万不要蔑视这工作或看低它。它是一个十分重大严肃的职责！谁知道有一天那个孩子见来有朝一日会对上主有多么重要呢？
作母亲，是个艰巨的工作！它需要参孙的力量、所罗门王的智慧、约伯的耐心、亚伯拉罕的信心、但以理的洞察力、及大卫的勇气和行政能力！当然，它一定还需要上帝的“爱”！——它是一个多么重大的工作啊！
使母亲伟大的，是她那种自我牺牲的精神，她为了孩子而愿意牺牲自己的时间、力量、甚至健康。任何母亲都能生孩子，但是必须靠一位真正的母亲，才能去学习如何“教养孩童，使他走当行的道！”（箴22:6）
“我是否应告诉你，有史以来最勇敢的仗是在何时何地打的呢？在世上的地图上你将找不到它，它是人类的母亲所打的！”
