Cramin' with the Cram's: McLeod Family

"I grant you that there are many who approach the responsibility of motherhood with fear and timidity, because of its dangers to the physical life of mother, because of its pain, its sorrows and its distress, but in the very nature of things, if God should lighten the burdens, the sorrows, and the pain of child bearing he would endanger the enduring love of the mother for her children.

There is nothing worthwhile we obtain unless we pay the price for it. That which is given to us freely, we consider of little value, and so a mother goes into the valley of death, lays her life upon the alter to bring life into the world, and because through the rearing of the chidren who come to her, she spends many sleepless nights, denies herself the personal pleasures of life, devotes herself with patience and care and strength, almost more than she has, to the welfare of her children, -- this is what makes her love them. For where her treasure is, there her heart is, and the greatest treasure a woman has she gives in her service, her life itself."
