We mothers must take care of the possible

and trust God for the impossible. We are to love,

affirm, encourage, teach, and care for the

physical needs of the family.

We cannot convict of sin, create hunger

and thirst after God, or convert. These are

miracles, and miracles are not

in our department.

I have, as a wife and mother, a good cause-

the best cause in the world-but I lack the

shoulders to support it. The job isn't

too big for me. I'm not big enough for the job.

As a mother, I must faithfully, patiently,

lovingly, and happily do my part-

then quietly wait for God to do His.
