Lest We Forget.


A poem for mothers

Sarah C read this at a Mother/Daughter Tea.

She came tonight as I sat alone, the girl I used to be...

And she gazed at me with her ernest eye

And questioned reproachfuly;

Have you forgotten the many plans

And hopes that I had for you?

The greater career, the splendid fame

All the wonderful things to do?

Where is the mansion of stately height

With all its gardens rare?

The silken robes that I dreamed for you

And the jewels in your hair?

And as she spoke, I was very sad

For I wanted her pleased with me...

This slendor girl from the shadowy past

The girl I used to be.

So gently rising, I took her hand,

And guided her up the stair

Where peacefully sleeping,

My babies lay

Innocent, sweet and fair.

And told her that these are

my only gems,

And precious they are to me;

That silken robe is my motherhood

of costly simplicity.

And my mansion of statly height is love,

And the only career I know

is serving each day in these

sheltered walls

For the dear ones who come

and go.

And as I spoke to my shadowy guest

She smiled through her tears at me.

and saw that the woman that I am now

Pleased the girl that I used to be.

CHRISTAIN HERITAGE MOTHER DAUGHTER TEA!

Last month my mother and I went to a Mother/Daughter Tea on Friday the 18TH.
Mrs. Brown and her two daughters (Blaire and Claudia) spoke.

I would like to share with you a few things that I learned at the tea.

In the first session Mrs. Brown told us that the woman was created to be a help meet for the man in Genesis 2:18-24. Mrs. Brown also told us about the Proverbs 31 woman. In Proverbs 31:27 the Bible tells us that she looketh well to the ways of her household; and that she eateth not the bread of idleness. In Proverbs 31:28 her children rise up and call her blessed.
The Proverbs 31 woman is a wonderful example for ladies to follow who are, or want to be, keepers at home.
Blaire and Claudia told us how they served their family in the home. Claudia said that daughters should make their mother their best counselor; to always trust her with all our troubles. When you tell her your troubles, she will try and give you counsel and encourage you in your walk with the Lord.

In the second session Mrs. Brown told us that we should have the law of kindness on our lips. In other words that we should speak kindly to others, in or out of our families.

I really enjoyed the tea and being with my dear mother.
I am very grateful to God that I was brought up in a godly, christian home and that my mom was lead by the Lord to teach me how to be a keeper at home.

At the tea there were friends, fellowship, tea and food, but most importantly there was your mother.

Here are some passages that Mrs. Brown gave:

Proverbs 31:10-31,
Genesis 2:18-24,
and
Titus 2:3-5
