In the old days, Mothers were always at home. The children felt safe and well taken care of. Mothers worked hard with cooking and baking and housekeeping. They were skilled and capable. Yet, there was an amazing amount of love in an old fashioned home.
Mother would guide her children throughout the day - in manners, kindness, chores, and the Bible. She would pray with her babies and she would read them stories in an unhurried way.
She baked cookies and made hearty meals to nourish and comfort her loved ones. She could be seen in an apron and a house dress. When it was time for Church or to head into town, Mother would get all dressed up, looking her best. The children were in awe of her.
Her entire life revolved around her family and creating a home-culture of godliness. Worldly thoughts or materialism were the furthest things from her mind. She lived on the strictest economy and was a good steward of the money and things she was provided with.
Mother was wise in heavenly matters. She labored each day with eternity in mind. Not only for herself, but with the decisions she made for her children and household. Some of the children would balk at her. They were young and wanted to have some worldly fun. But later on, as they looked back, they realized Mother was steadfast and strong in her beliefs and would not bend with the whims of society. They were drawn to the peace and faith of their dear mother. . .
