Homes are the Springs...
I'm reading Homemaking by J.R. Miller right now (Look for a review soon, this has been an incredible read so far. I'm wondering why I never read it sooner?) and have so many quotes I want to share from this book. Here is one from the very first page:
"Homes are the springs among the hills,
whose many streamlets, uniting,
form like great rivers
society, the community,
the nation, the church.
“If the Springs run low, the rivers waste.
If they pour our bounteous currents,
the rivers are full.
If the springs are pure,
the rivers are clean like crystal; if they are foul,
the rivers are defiled."

If you like Miller's writing, there are many of his books online.
I've been wanting to read this, and Mother, for some time- have you read both?
Ah, yes, that book is really good! I read it a year or two ago and just loved it. Very inspiring!
Oh yes, that was an absolute wonderful book! I enjoyed every word of it! I even got a copy for Heather! I know what you mean about the quotes! Every other line almost is quote material! Excellent book for sure and among my very favorites. :)
