There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.


-Washington Irving

What does this quote make you think of? How do you think it applies to you as a woman, a wife, or a mother? Can you think of certain instances in your life where that "heavenly fire" blazed up?

It makes me think of the phrase: "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." A woman sets the attitude of the home. We all have a spark of heavenly fire - a divine light - inside of us that can shine out and effect the whole family, in good times as well as in bad. That's my two cents.

Beauty alone makes all the world happy, and every being forgets its limitations as long as it experiences her enchantment.

Friedrich von Schiller
