“Called to be a mother,
entrusted with
the holy task
the holy task
of cooperating with God
in shaping
the destinies of six people,
the destinies of six people,
she knew it was too heavy
a burden to carry alone.
a burden to carry alone.
She did not try.
She went to Him whose name is
Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father.
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father.
She asked His help.”
Elisabeth Elliot (describing her mother’s faith)
