The Queen
of the Home
As you prepare your children for going back to school,
I would like to share this quote from a spiritual book I read, which
I believe will greatly benefit all who read it. It was written in the 1800’s and is still very
applicable today.
The king upon his throne has no higher work than has the mother. The mother is queen of
her household. She has in her power the molding of her children’s characters, that they may be
fitted for the higher, immortal life. An angel could not ask for a higher mission; for in doing
this work she is doing service for God. Let her only realise the high character of her task, and
it will inspire her with courage. Let her realise the worth of her work and put on the whole
armor of God, that she may resist the temptation to conform to the world’s standard. Her
work is for time and for eternity.
The mother is the queen of her home, and the children her subjects. She is to rule her
household wisely, in the dignity of her motherhood. Her influence in the home is to be
paramount; her word, law. If she is a Christian, under God’s control, she will command the
respect of her children.
The children are to be taught to regard their mother, not as a slave whose work it is to
wait on them, but as a queen who is to guide and direct them, teaching them line upon line,
precept upon precept.
