Well! this is one side of the story, to be sure, but I look at the
other. Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet
to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to
train for God, and the body in which it dwells is worthy 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 had left me. Yes, my
precious baby, you are welcome to your mother's heart, welcome to her
time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to her life- long
prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blest!"
Stepping Heavenward
