It is typical of a woman to live a life of
renunciation and self-denial for the sake of her
boy's education or h,er daughter's schooling.
She keeps on through the years, wearing
her old clothes, turning them inside out and
rctrimming them in inexpensive ways that she
may carry out her plans for her children. I like
to quote old hurly-burly Martin Luther, who
said that the noblest thing ever placed on the
earth is a noble-hearted, loving woman.
Bless her so say we all of us ! s
Let your lips and mine say so today to the
best woman we know.
