The Hardworking Mother, Chardin |
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
~ Helen Keller
... applying all diligence, in your faith supply
moral excellence, and in your moral excellence,
knowledge, and in your knowledge,
self-control, and in your self-control,
perseverance, and in your perseverance,
godliness, and in your godliness,
brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness,
love.
For if these qualities are yours and are increasing,
they render you neither useless nor unfruitful
in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
~ 2 Peter 1:5-8
Painting ~ The Hard Working Mother 1740, Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin 1699-1779
