A Women's Worth !

Her Grand and Noble Commission.--
There are opportunities of inestimable worth, interests infinitely precious, committed to every mother.
The humble round of duties which women have come to regard as a wearisome task should be looked upon as a grand and noble work.

It is the mother's privilege to bless the world by her influence, and in doing this she will bring joy to her own heart.
She may make straight paths for the feet of her children through sunshine and shadow to the glorious heights above.

But it is only when she seeks, in her own life, to follow the teachings of Christ that the mother can hope to form the character of her children after the divine pattern.

Amid all the activities of life the mother's most sacred duty is to her children.
But how often is this duty put aside that some selfish gratification may be followed!

Parents are entrusted with the present and eternal interests of their children.
They are to hold the reins of government and guide their households to the honor of God.

God's law should be their standard, and love should rule in all things.

No Work Is Greater or Holier.--

If married men go into the work, leaving their wives to care for the children at home, the wife and mother is doing fully as great and important a work as the husband and father.

Although one is in the missionary field, the other is a home missionary, whose cares and anxieties and burdens frequently far exceed those of the husband and father.

Her work is a solemn and important one. . . . The husband in the open missionary field may receive the honors of men, while the home toiler may receive no earthly credit for her labor.

But if she works for the best interest of her family, seeking to fashion their characters after the divine Model, the recording angel writes her name as one of the greatest missionaries in the world.
God does not see things as man's finite vision views them.

The mother is God's agent to Christianize her family.

She is to exemplify Biblical religion, showing how its influence is to control us in its everyday duties and pleasures, teaching her children that by grace alone can they be saved, through faith, which is the gift of God.

This constant teaching as to what Christ is to us and to them, His love, His goodness, His mercy, revealed in the great plan of redemption, will make a hallowed, sacred impress on the heart.

The training of children constitutes an important part of God's plan for demonstrating the power of Christianity.

A solemn responsibility rests upon parents to so train their children that when they go forth into the world, they will do good and not evil to those with whom they associate.

A woman's worth is the worth of God since God is also a woman!

in Love for God as male and as female, as man and as woman,

Surfer, I'm with you on this one.

We've had a socioeconomic system move-in, that has convenced women, and men alike, that the tasks at home are some how less honorable, or lower, than working in the economic driven sociopolitical work place.

Let me ask you this....What seems to be of greater value...

A woman heading up the PR department at Microsoft...

OR...

A woman staying at home, keeping the home fires burning, while her husband heads up the PR department at microsoft?

In my mind there's no contest. It's the second option, hands down, however, it will never go back to this....too much water under the bridge. I bet there are women reading this right now, who feel that I am slighting them. I'm not!
