I have, read of a little girl who had a worldly, unconverted mother, who one everting sent her to have her supper alone in her bedroom. What do you think it was for? She noticed her little daughter bowing her head, and silently thanking God before she partook of her meals. This eccentricity, as she considered it, on the part of Daisy, so annoyed her that she punished her for it.
Do you not think Daisy must have had a sweet sense of the presence of Jesus at her lonely tea in her bedroom?
She had read in the gospels, that when He was on earth, before feeding the multitude, He took the loaves and “gave thanks,” and her desire to “learn of” Him brought on her mother’s displeasure.
