A great poet was brought to see God through the example of one godly woman.
Dante had his Beatrice and it was enough. It is harder for men in our
materialistic age, so God has raised up thousands of such women. It is time to
take a good hard look at what these heroes without epic poets are doing in
quiet. I put very little trust in princes, whether elected or not. Rather, if
the oldest stories are true the fate of the Republic rests more with these home
school mothers.
Although there are many posts that I have read that I would like to link too on my blog (often finding that as I am still learning to communicate well, many others communicate ideas and truths better than I), I could not pass this up. As I grow into a young woman I have also grown more and more in awe of the woman that my mother is, wondering how she made it-- in light of the difficult background that she came from-- into the wonderful godly wife and mother, the example of feminity, humbleness, and maturity that she is, igniting my passion for truth and Christ-likeness, and guiding me even now, though we are apart. Mother's Day is still about a month and a half away... but there will never be a day that I am not grateful for my relationship with her.
