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
