Mother's Activities

How did your mother spend her day? Did she have a job or do volunteer work outside the home?

Mother spent her day in service to others. She was a good homemaker, a good cook, a willing entertainer and a wise parent. She took very seriously her walk with Christ. She had her daily communication with the Lord in her bedroom. We children could hear her interceding for the lost. She had family prayer with us. My dad was in charge of evening family prayers and mother took charge in the morning. She was creative and even used drama at times to make the Word of God come alive for us.

Mother did not work outside our home unless she was visiting the sick or doing volunteer services for the Lord. She served as director of the junior department in the Sunday School and as study chairman in the missionary society. Children and missions were very important to her.
