🕯*But frequently the patience of the mother is taxed with these numerous little trials that seem scarcely worth attention. Mischievous hands and restless feet create a great amount of labor and perplexity for the mother. She has to hold fast the reins of self-control, or impatient words will slip from her tongue. She almost forgets herself time and again, but a silent prayer to her pitying Redeemer calms her nerves, and she is enabled to hold the reins of self-control with quiet dignity. She speaks with calm voice, but it has cost her an effort to restrain harsh words and subdue angry feelings which, if expressed, would have destroyed her influence, which it would have taken time to regain.*
*The perception of children is quick, and they discern patient, loving tones from the impatient, passionate command, which dries up the moisture of love and affection in the hearts of children. The true Christian mother will not drive her children from her presence by her fretfulness and lack of sympathizing love* AH 242.1 - AH 242.2🙏📖🙏📖🙏📖🙏📖🙏📖 #learn #grow #love #light #truth #faith #strength #Hisguidance #readthewordofGod #victoryoversin #repentance #joy #obedience #wisdom #humility #understanding #hope #believe #goodnews #peace #life #dailybread #gospel #wakeupcall #prayer #pray #followJesus #Savior #Jesusis #Jesussaves
