    I bought two boxes of size 6 Huggies on clearance today, saving me $54.22 off the regular price!!! That doesn’t happen every day! The diaper company changed the packaging, and the grocery store wanted to get rid of the old style! I wish I could have bought more, but there were only two boxes left.

  • A Mother's Calling

    “The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.”
    Proverbs 23:24

    LORD OF LIFE AND KING OF GLORY

    Lord of life and King of glory,
    Who didst deign a child to be,
    Cradled on a mother’s bosom,
    Throned upon a mother’s knee:
    For the children Thou hast given
    We must answer unto Thee!

    Since the day the blessèd mother
    Thee, the world’s Redeemer, bore,
    Thou hast crowned us with an honor
    Women never knew before;
    And that we may bear it meetly
    We must seek Thine aid the more.

    Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient,
    That in all we do or say
    Little souls our deeds may copy,
    And be never led astray;
    Little feet our steps may follow
    In a safe and narrow way.

    When our growing sons and daughters
    Look on life with eager eyes,
    Grant us then a deeper insight
    And new powers of sacrifice:
    Hope to trust them, faith to guide them,
    Love that nothing good denies.

    May we keep our holy calling
    Stainless in its fair renown,
    That when all the work is over
    And we lay the burdens down,
    Then the children Thou hast given
    Still may be our joy and crown.
