{Drops of dew, nature’s jewels and pools of light}
Reflecting on mothering and domestic artistry a bit this morning…
“Now you are deep in what seems to me a peculiarly selfless service. The spiritual training of children must be that. You work for the years you will not see. You work for the Invisible all the time, but you work for the Eternal. So it is all worthwhile.”
~Amy Carmichael
“Divine Service Conducted Here Three Times a Day.”
{The context of this was cooking meals. What a perspective shift! I may place this above my stove.}
~ Ruth Bell Graham
“The true secret of happiness lies in the taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.”
~William Morris
{I believe these quotes came from the lovely book Mother Culture by Karen Andreola. I just finished my second reread through it and these were some encouraging things I jotted down.}

Aaah! I love all three quotes! And your “obedience” quote from last Monday’s pondering has been a gift, as your words so often are. And now, I’m off to perform my own divine service!
