Here is another sweet, fragrant mouth to
kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about
my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God, and the body in which it
dwells is worth all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly
tenant….Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mother’s heart,
welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to
her life-long prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wonderfully
blessed
