"Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two feet to make music with their pattering about our home...
Here is a soul to train for God, and the body in which it dwells is worth all it will cost...
...since it is the abode of a kingly tenant.
I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all...
...to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other darlings have left me.
Yes, my precious baby...
...you are welcome to your mother's heart...
...welcome to her time...
...her strength...
her most tender cares..
to her lifelong prayers!
Oh, how rich I am...
how truly...
wonderously blessed!"
