"Your body is the first thing any child of man ever wanted. Therefore dispose yourself to be loved, to be wanted, to be available. Be there for them with a vengeance. Be a gracious, bending woman. Incline your ear, your heart, your hands to them.... To be a Mother is to be the sacrament - the effective symbol - of place. Mothers do not make homes, they are our home." from Bed and Board, Robert Farrar Capon

Quote for the Day


  "What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God.  
We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well pleasing to God,
not on the account of the position or work but on account of the Word and faith
                     from which the obedience and the work flow."                          

  Martin Luther
