Parable of the Growing Seed

see the result of our toil; for we shall see those for whom we have
labored and prayed gathered into the heavenly garner. So shall we
enter into the joy of our Lord, when “He shall see of the travail of
His soul, and shall be satisfied.”
Isaiah 53:11

The mother’s work often seems to her an unimportant service.
It is a work that is rarely appreciated. Others know little of her
many cares and burdens. Her days are occupied with a round of
little duties, all calling for patient effort, for self-control, for tact,
wisdom, and self-sacrificing love; yet she cannot boast of what she
has done as any great achievement. She has only kept things in
the home running smoothly. Often weary and perplexed, she has
tried to speak kindly to the children, to keep them busy and happy,
and to guide their little feet in the right path. She feels that she has
accomplished nothing. But it is not so. Heavenly angels watch the
careworn mother, noting the burdens she carries day by day. Her
name may not have been heard in the world, but it is written in the
Lamb’s book of life.
