“I am resolved to be a good mother to my children, to pray for them, to set them good examples, to give them good advice, to be careful both of their souls and bodies, to watch over their tender minds; to carefully root out the first appearing and buddings of vice, and to instill piety, virtue and true religion into them.“

A Great Quote...



This is a granite monument to the Pilgrim Mothers, in Plymouth, MA.

It is inscribed thus...

"They brought up their families in sturdy virtue and a living faith in God without which nations perish."

At the end of my life, I pray someone will say the same of me.

I won't be around to say it then so I like Jeannette will say it now. I am proud of you and love you all so much.
