Mothers and 1 Corinthians 13 If I live in a
house of spotless beauty with everything in its place, but have not love,
I am a housekeeper not a homemaker.
I I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have
not love, my children learn cleanliness - not godliness.
Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh.
Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.
Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk.
Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.
Love is the present though the trials.
Love reprimands, reproves and is responsive.
Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the child,
then stands aside to let them walk into adulthood.
Love is he key that opens salvation's message to a child's heart.
Before I became a mother I took the glory in my house of perfection. Now I
glory in the perfection of my child.
.....as a mother, there is much I must teach my child, but the
greatest of all is love.
