"Let me give you a little advice. One way or another, a man will find a woman to look out for him not only when he's sick but when he's well. That's something you so-called "modern girls" never seem to count on. You talk about freedom, because you think it's something men have and cherish. But they don't. They hate it. They get along best when they're *not* free. It's human nature, that's all. They need old-fashioned women looking after their health, nagging them into caution, feeding them properly, and giving them families to live for. A great many of these women are just as well-fitted for business as you are, but they don't want it. They put their talents to work instead in what people today think of as a narrow sphere. Well, I don't think it's narrow. I think it's the most important sphere of all! Not much recognition in it, perhaps--no spectacular publicity--but it's built up nations before now, and it *will* build them again.

ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! I'll have to see that film sometime. I bet would like the "In Praise of the Stay-at-Home Mom". It talks about this very thing. Besides, it's one of the most fulfilling things. The Lord has truly blessed us with the gift of vocation.
By the way, I still have some pictures for you but need an email address to send them to.
Love you lots,
Kaylee
Thanks Kaylee. WHere can i find the "in praise of the Stay-at-Home-Mom" in this day and age we need as much encouragement as we can get fighting the stigmas put on mothers who actually know there's no place else they should rather be than home with their children. Im looking to buy a copy of Bed and Board - its a hard book to find! my email is ljo2010@aol.com
