We’re doomed.
Yeah...just “Mother” will save us....NOT.
A large part of the problem with our society today is that there are so many children born to unmarried women with the State providing the sustenance. And the State is doing a very poor job of being 'fathers'.
BS! It’s mostly mothers on the school boards that have ruined the the school systems. It’s mother’s that allow their children to be indoctrinated and don’t lift a finger to stop it. It’s mother’s that have children on welfare and teach their daughters to do the same.
It’s mothers that make up the bulk of the marchers against our civil rights.
Have been to early church where we had a beautiful celebration of Mothers and a dedication of our new babies to the Lord. This article is so full of wisdom and truth as to how knowledge is transmitted to the next generation. If Mothers do not take that responsibility, no one else will for no one else can do it as well as she can. It is definitely a serious job to instill, knowledge and hopefully, some time tested wisdom into the next generation, but, eventually, it has to do with the basic survival of mankind, itself. I think it might have been Will Durant who said that civilization might have ended with the dark ages, had women not transmitted it to the generations who came after. Hope we are not in a similar situation today. Mom’s are the most important people in the world...No question about it!
Mothers AND Fathers in nuclear families: The last best hope for America.
It is God that binds nuclear families.
...”mothers are the center of the home”
There was a time I could say that..but not with todays women. So I don’t think this can be said of todays world.
....”It is God that binds nuclear families”...
Yes, but it is parents who tear it apart.
It’s “mother’s” who apparently never taught you about apostrophes.
every home with an Alexa should ask her to recite the pledge and sing “America the Beautiful” every morning during breakfast.
The statistics would drive the DS crazy...
For centuries, societies have recognized the important role of women, especially as mothers, in instilling and training the minds and hearts of their young for citizenship and service.
Could the following excerpt from Dr. Marshall’s sermon help us focus on the seriousness of what has happened in recent decades and of its potential impact on future generations?
“Once upon a time, a certain town grew up at the foot
of a mountain range. It was sheltered in the lee of the
protecting heights, so that the wind that shuddered at the
doors and flung handfuls of sleet against the window panes
was a wind whose fury was spent.
“High up in the hills, a strange and quiet forest dweller took it
upon himself to be the Keeper of the Springs.
“He patrolled the hills and wherever he found a spring, he
cleaned its brown pool of silt and fallen leaves, of mud and
mold and took away from the spring all foreign matter, so that
the water which bubbled up through the sand ran down clean
and cold and pure.
“It leaped sparkling over rocks and dropped joyously in crystal
cascades until, swollen by other streams, it became a river of
life to the busy town.
“Millwheels were whirled by its rush.
Gardens were refreshed by its waters.
Fountains threw it like diamonds into the air.
Swans sailed on its limpid surface
and children laughed as they played on its banks in the
sunshine.
“But the City Council was a group of hardheaded, hard-boiled
business men. They scanned the civic budget and found in it
the salary of a Keeper of the Springs.
“Said the Keeper of the Purse: ‘Why should we pay this romance
ranger? We never see him; he is not necessary to our
town’s work life. If we build a reservoir just above the town,
we can dispense with his services and save his salary.’
“Therefore, the City Council voted to dispense with the un-
necessary cost of a Keeper of the Springs, and to build a
cement reservoir.
“So the Keeper of the Springs no longer visited the brown pools
but watched from the heights while they built the reservoir.
“When it was finished, it soon filled up with water, to be sure,
but the water did not seem to be the same.
It did not seem to be as clean, and a green scum soon befouled
its stagnant surface.
“There were constant troubles with the delicate machinery
of the mills, for it was often clogged with slime, and the
swans found another home above the town.
“At last, an epidemic raged, and the clammy, yellow fingers of
sickness reached into every home in every street and lane.
“The City Council met again. Sorrowfully, it faced the city’s plight, and frankly it acknowledged the mistake of the dismissal of the Keeper of the Springs.
“They sought him out in his hermit hut high in the hills, and
begged him to return to his former joyous labor.
Gladly he agreed, and began once more to make his rounds.
“It was not long until pure water came lilting down under
tunnels of ferns and mosses and to sparkle in the cleansed
reservoir.
“Millwheels turned again as of old.
Stenches disappeared.
Sickness waned
and convalescent children playing in the sun laughed again
because the swans had come back.
“Do not think me fanciful
too imaginative
or too extravagant in my language
when I say that I think women, and particularly of our
mothers, as Keepers of the Springs. The phrase, while poetic,
is true and descriptive.
We feel its warmth ...
its softening influence ...
and however forgetful we have been ...
however much we have taken for granted life’s precious
gifts we are conscious of wistful memories that surge out of
the past —
the sweet
tender
poignant fragrances of love.
“Nothing that has been said
nothing that could be said
or that ever will be said,
would be eloquent enough, expressive enough, or adequate to
make articulate that peculiar emotion we feel to our mothers.
“So I shall make my tribute a plea for Keepers of the Springs,
who will be faithful to their tasks.
“There never has been a time when there was a greater need
for Keepers of the Springs,
or when there were more polluted springs to be cleansed.
If the home fails, the country is doomed. The breakdown of
home life and influence will mark the breakdown of the
nation.
“If the Keepers of the Springs desert their posts or are un-
faithful to their responsibilities the future outlook of this
country is black indeed.
“This generation needs Keepers of the Springs who will be cou-
rageous enough to cleanse the springs that have been polluted.
“It’s not an easy task — nor is it a popular one, but it must be
done for the sake of the children, and the young women of
today must do it.”
- Dr. Peter Marshall
When I was pregnant, I prayed for a son so I could raise a warrior for America. I was blessed with a wonderful son who I named Robert after Robert E. Lee and Robert The Bruce. His father and my family for generations have been lifers in the military. I raised him on John Wayne movies. After 9/11 he joined the Air Guard and has been deployed many times. He has never disappointed us.
Mothers are part of the divine plan. Man was meant to have a mother and a father. Not parental-unit-A and parental-unit-B. The mother and father are different, and complementary.
All mothers are female. All fathers are male. There are no exceptions.
If women are to truly be America’s last hope, then, before they become moms, they must first reclaim their God-given familial role and position of man tamer/supporter, rather than competitor/equal.
George Gilder talked about this:
The Women's Movement tragically reduces female sexuality to the terms of male sexuality. When this happens, she reduces herself to the male level of recreational sex.He also speaks to the primary importance of religion for a society to succeed:Paradoxically, when that happens the woman loses all her power over men and the reverence and respect toward the procreative potential of woman is lost. And that really destroys the family.
But if the power of "choice" is given up, the woman actually ascends to a higher level of sexuality and her body attains an almost mystical power over men.
Religion is primary. Unless a culture is aspiring toward the good, the true, and the beautiful, and wants the good and the true, really worships God, it readily worships Satan.~and~If we turn away from God, our culture becomes dominated by “Real Crime Stories” and rap music and other spew. This is the most fundamental point.
When the culture becomes corrupt, then the businesses that serve the culture also become corrupt.
Secular culture is in general corrupt, and degraded, and depraved. Because I don’t believe in secular culture, I think parochial schools are the only real schools.Not hard to understand. Supposedly, Joseph Stalin said of US:
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life.Whoever said it, they were right, and legislation passed since the early 1960s, that kicked fathers out of the family and The Father out of America to be replaced by Government, has worked well to this end.
If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."
Behold the power of a woman’s “No”.
Hey, thanks. No, my mother never taught me about apostrophes. But, I’m glad you’re here to straighten me out.
And have a dinnertime family prayer.
