A MOTHER'S SECRET FOR SUCCESS

This is a poem we found 11 years after my moms death.It touches my heart each time I read it.

A Mothers Secret For Success

When in the morning I wash my children, I prayed that they might be washed by the Saviours precious blood.

When I put on their garments, I prayed that they might be arrayed by the garments of salvation in the robe of Gods righteousness.

When I give them food, I prayed that they might be feed with the bread of life.

When I started them on the road to school, I prayed that their faith might be as a shining light brighter and brighter to the perfect day.

When I put them to sleep, I prayed that they might be enfolded in the Saviours everlasting arms.

(Reva Miller 1928-1993)
