Someone asked a mother whose children had turned out very well, the secret by which she prepared them for usefulness and for the Christian life.
Without hesitation she said: "When in the morning I washed my children, I prayed that they might be cleansed by the Saviour's precious blood.
"When I put on their garments, I prayed that they might be arrayed in the garments of salvation and in the robe of God's righteousness.
"When I gave them food, I prayed that they might be fed with the Bread of Life.
"When I started them on the road to school, I prayed that their faith might be as the shining light, brighter and brighter to the perfect day.
"When I put them to sleep, I prayed that they might be enfolded in the Saviour's everlasting arms."
No wonder her children were early led to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and became adornments to the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things!
What a joy to that mother's heart when her children rise up and call her blessed!
Now that her secret is an open one, may hosts of other mothers follow it.
