Being Courteous to our Children


“We help our children present themselves to the world when we keep them clean and well-groomed. This is a courtesy to our children, and it is a courtesy to others. It is much more enjoyable to talk to a child who has a clean, shiny face, than a child with a dirty nose. This is simply the way we are made. We are honoring them when we wash their faces. Mothers should dress their children appropriately and teach them that dressing inproperly can be discourteous. Hair hanging in their faces or sloppy, unkempt clothing is difficult to get past.” Praise Her in the Gates: The Calling of Christian Motherhood by Nancy Wilson
I did you a favor Daughter, yes I did. Even though you don't like getting your hair done, I will never let you go around looking motherless. So even though it takes a lot of time to do your hair, I will do it faithfully and bless you in that way. I love you Daughter.
