We are trying not so much to make God listen to us as to make ourselves listen to Him; we are trying not to persuade God to do what we want, but to find out what he wants us to do. It so often happens that in prayer we are really saying, “Thy will be changed,” when we ought to be saying, “Thy will be done.” The first object of prayer is not so much to speak to God as to listen to Him.

"Love in The Home"    
 
 
If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everthing
in its place, but have not love, I am a housekeeper
not a homemaker.
 
If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative
achievements, but have not love, my children learn
cleanliness--not godliness.
 
Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh. Love
smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.
 
Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled
milk. Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.
 
Love is present through the trials. Love reprimands,
reproves, and is responsive. Love crawls with the baby,
walks with the toddler, runs with the child, then stands
aside to let the youth walk into adulthood.
 
Love is the key that opens salvation's message to a
child's heart.
 
Before I became a mother I took glory in my house of
perfection. Now I glory in God's perfection of my child.
As a mother, there is much I must teach my child, but
the greatest of all is love.
