Grace in the heart

One of the first results of grace in the heart is sweeter, kindlier, truer, more helpful living, in all life's common relationships. It makes a man . . . a kinder neighbor,

a more thoughtful husband,

a gentler father.

A Christian girl whose religion does not make her a better daughter and a more loving, patient sister — has not rightly learned Christ.

A wife and mother shows the beauty of holiness not only in her earnestness in prayer and church work — but in her devotion to the interests of her home.

Mrs. Prentiss said, "A mother can pray with a sick child on her lap, more acceptably than if she left it in order to go and pray by herself."

"Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble!" 1 Peter 3:8
