looked in the book first at the Bible passage for that day. It was the shortest entry in the whole book, just three simple words: Thy Kingdom Come. Then I read the rest of the page. At the bottom was a quote from John Ruskin: If you do not wish for His kingdom, don’t pray for it. But if you do, you must do more than pray for it; you must work for it. I believe those were the last words Mom ever read.
