Ársrit Bandalags lúterskra kvenna 11 we never know when someone is observing us and being influenced by our words and actions. This has come to me in startling fashion numerous times. It isn’t just when you attend church, sing in the choir, or teach Sunday school that people are watching. It may be they will notice more the way you treat the salesman at the door or the neighbor’s children playing in your yard or your attitude toward that “different” family moving in across the street. It’s in the daily round of duties that it is best observed whether or not we have true love for God and man. We women have many outsanding opportunities for witnessing of our Christian faith. Who besides mothers wield such a great influence on the affairs of the world? Every president, prime min- ister, cabinet member, judge and you-name-them has had a mother who greatly influenced his early life, which in turn shaped his adult life. Ours is a tremendous privilege and responsibility, for old-fashioned though the saying is, it is still true: The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Who knows what future scientists, teachers, pastors, world leaders we may be harboring in our home these days? Even without children in the home we still have an influence on children in the community. Sunday school teachers, Cub and Scout leaders, and such do much to mold the moral fibre of a child. And believe me, children notice. They know whether we are genuine or not—A Sunday school class interrupted their lesson once to inquire if Jesus really had a halo as we see so often on pictures. “What do you think?” the teacher asked. “Have you ever seen anyone whose face was radiant with sunshine?” Much to the teacher’s embarrassment and amazement the class chorused, “Yes, you, Mrs. Hutchinson.” For a moment she didn’t know what to say, and even before she could speak a little girl spoke up. “Maybe I shouldn’t say this,” she said, “but I lived with Mrs. Hutchinson for a week while my mother was away, and I never saw her halo.” Whether a woman’s place of work is her home or in a school or hospital or store or business office, she still is an influence on her associates. (Men are, too, for that matter!) No matter what we do to earn a living, our mission in life is to witness of Christ and His redemptive love for all mankind, by what we are and say and do. We are to let our lights shine so men may see our good
