"After Laura and Mary had washed and wiped the dishes, swept the floor, made their bed, and dusted, they settled down with their books. But the house was so cozy and pretty that Laura kept looking up at it."
- Laura Ingalls Wilder
Human Frailty of the Godly Soul
Charles Spurgeon:
"The life of Luther might suffice to give a thousand instances, and he was by no means of the weaker sort. His great spirit was often in the seventh heaven of exultation, and as frequently on the borders of despair. His very deathbed was not free from tempests, and he sobbed himself into his last sleep like a greatly wearied child."

Lyrics, "My Mother's Faith" sung by Cynthia Clawson
My mothers arms would hold us tight. She whispered Lord keep them tonight, and so did we sleep sound and safe, it must have been my mother's faith.
Morning would call the sun to rise and open sweetly slumbering eyes. She prayed Lord keep them on their way. He held us in my mother's faith.
My mothers faith was wrapped about us, like the softest down in winter, And when the raging wind had found us as in her arms we ever stayed.
At even time does for the field reluctant moon and stars revealed she thanked him well as thru the day. As certain as my mothers faith. My mothers faith would move a mountain and was deep as any ocean, but to keep safe those gathered round her this was the greatest gift she gave.
When summer turned and we had grown, her passing called us woeful home. I kissed her then as there she lay and now i know my mothers faith.
And so does she sleep sound and safe it must have been my mothers faith
I've had the CD by Cynthia Clawson with this song on it for quite a while. It is definitely a favorite. I especially love the words near the end: "and so does she, sleep sound and safe" ... they remind me that our separation from our loved ones in Christ is only temporary, as they await their own resurrection.
I just heard this song and I must say it made me cry, you see I no longer have my mother she passed 12 years ago. Wow in writing 12 years ago my skin got goose bumps. Like Jacquelyn said in her november reply the words "and so does she,sleep sound and safe" I know that my mom is sound and safe in heaven. This is a reminder that this separation is only temporary. I miss her so much it seems as if she passed not so long ago. Thank you for sharing this song.
