MARY was always happy and ready to sing, so that you could justly call her “Mary Sun, shine.” She was very busy dusting, sewing, running errands, etc., but each additional work seemed only to make her more happy. She was once asked, “Why are you always so happy, Mary? When we see your bright face and hear you singing, we would think you had just received some extra good news.”
“Yes, indeed,” she replied, “there came very good news, the best of all, to me. I have found the Lord Jesus, or He has found me. Now I can be happy every day, and do my work for Him and with Him. When I dust the house, I hear Him say, ‘Mary, do this for Me!’ When I set the table, it seems to me as if He was invited, and I could arrange all for Him, and if I should take care of the children, then I remember His word, ‘Feed My lambs!’ I used to do everything just because I had to, but now I do all things with a happy heart for my Saviour, therefore everything goes so easy.”
