5. ON MOTHERHOOD
From A Second Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul
God sent children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race— to enlarge our hearts; and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affections; to give our souls higher aims; to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion; and to sing round our firesides bright faces, happy smiles and loving, tender hearts.
