The front door slammed as Cheryl ran for the high-school bus. \u201cThree children off,\u201d I made a mental note. \u201cFour to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the bedroom I had finished the first braid in Dodie\u2019s hair and was reaching for the rubber band when a shriek from the bathroom sent me running there. Debbie had cut her lip against the washstand.<\/p>\n

I was still dabbing with a wad of cotton when Sandy appeared in the doorway in his pajama pants.<\/p>\n

\u201cMama, make Dusty stop throwing my socks!\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n

\u201cDale!\u201d This was Roy from our bedroom. \u201cThe recording session\u2019s at ten, you know!\u201d<\/p>\n

I dashed for the kitchen and started cracking eggs into a bowl. \u201cAfter the kids are off, I\u2019ll just have time to get that laundry sorted,\u201d I promised myself. For two days my washing machine had been out of order and the soiled-clothes heap was now a mountain.<\/p>\n

The phone rang and I jerked the skillet of eggs off the fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Rogers?\u201d The lady\u2019s voice was apologetic. \u201cCould you and Mr. Rogers be at the studio at nine instead of ten this morning?\u201d An especially hectic beginning to a day? No\u2014just a very average morning at the Rogers\u2019 house.<\/p>\n

If you have children and a busy husband, it probably sounds a little like mornings at your house, too. And not only the mornings, but all day long the noise and the rush and the thousand little<\/em> crises go on.<\/p>\n

Most of us can rise to the really big emergencies; the problem we mothers share is how to get through a normal day.<\/p>\n

And actually, I sometimes think my day is easier than other mothers\u2019. I do have Mrs. Ordono to get most of our meals and to be with the children while I\u2019m working. And a lady comes in to do the laundry.<\/p>\n

People ask me how I manage to raise a family and at the same time keep up with the fast pace of Hollywood. I tell them the pace of Hollywood is a vacation after the pace of a home with seven children in it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll never forget one perfectly run-of-the-mill Saturday when Mrs. Ordono was away for the weekend and the children had been yelling since dawn. If I can\u2019t get off by myself for a moment, I thought, I\u2019m going to be yelling too. I needed to sit down, compose myself, and ask God for a little patience.<\/p>\n

But to talk to God, I believed, you needed silence\u2014and there certainly wasn\u2019t any of that in the house.<\/p>\n

So I ducked a small plastic plane that was sailing through the air and headed for the big rocks in back of the barn. And there, I tried to concentrate on a prayer for strength.<\/p>\n

But all I could think about was the children. Why didn\u2019t Linda finish her lunch? Should I have left the boys alone with that rope? What was Dodie getting into? …<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no use,\u201d I said aloud. Prayer wouldn\u2019t come and I walked slowly back to the mayhem in the house with the feeling that not even God had any help for mothers.<\/p>\n

I felt the same sense of failure when I tried to read the Bible. I had the feeling that Bible reading had to be a thing set apart. So I put aside a special time for it: half an hour first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But if your house is anything like ours, there isn\u2019t really any \u201cfirst thing\u201d in the morning. You open your eyes, and the next thing you know, one child feels sick, another has lost his homework, and you\u2019re snatched up into the whirl of the day. Then I wondered why I didn\u2019t get my Bible read!<\/p>\n

At last I decided I had to get away for a few days of peace. And so, with four other women from our church, I joined a three-day retreat at an Episcopal convent high in the hills near here. For three days none of us was allowed to speak a word.<\/p>\n

And up there in the silence, I learned something about our noisy home in the valley. It was such a simple discovery I am almost ashamed to repeat it, but it\u2019s made all the difference to me. I learned that our home is not a convent!<\/p>\n

The orderly life that those holy women lead up there is the most beautiful and selfless in the world, but I suddenly knew it was not my life. I was a wife and a mother, and my religion had to be like my life\u2014as spontaneous and spur of the moment as the little crises that keep me jumping.<\/p>\n

I still think Bible-reading is the best way to start the day. But now in my kitchen I keep a little box shaped like a loaf of bread. It\u2019s called the \u201cBread Of Life\u201d and in it are tiny cards with scripture verses on them.<\/p>\n

Now, instead of trying to find an imaginary free hour, I need only a free second. While I\u2019m waiting for the cereal water to boil, I have time to pick up one of the cards and learn it by heart.<\/p>\n

The Bible itself I save now till the end of the day when the children are in bed and there are no\u2014well, not so many\u2014interruptions.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve found a wonderful place to pray, once I realized I didn\u2019t need total silence in which to do it. It\u2019s my car. Our ranch is so far from everything that I have lots of driving to do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a long way to the grocery store or the dry cleaner\u2019s, and when one of the children makes a friend at school, he\u2019s sure to live at the other end of the valley.<\/p>\n

I used to fret over the wasted time I spent at the wheel. Now I drive just as slowly as I dare. I have time to think about each child and to pray for understanding and patience with him.<\/p>\n

Bible lessons are different now too. We have a family altar in our living room\u2014actually an old radio cabinet with a dresser scarf and candles on it\u2014and our original plan was to gather around it each evening for prayers and a brief lesson.<\/p>\n

But it was club night for one child or choir practice for another and somehow we didn\u2019t get the lessons in very often.<\/p>\n

Today, instead of having a set hour for religious teaching, I try to introduce my children to Jesus Christ in the little day-to-day things that happen all the time. Dodie has always been painfully afraid of the dark. One night she began to cry as I tucked her into bed.<\/p>\n

READ MORE: MICHAEL LEARNED ON PRAYER<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t turn the light out, Mama,\u201d she begged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you be afraid if I<\/em> were here with you?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not,\u201d said Dodie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I can\u2019t always be with you, of course. But, Dodie\u2014the Lord can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dodie was silent, so I tiptoed out, leaving the light on. In a few minutes\u2014oh miracle of miracles\u2014I heard the light click off. And, just audible, I heard Dodie\u2019s little voice speak two words. She said to the dark, \u201cHello, Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

A week of lessons couldn\u2019t have taught her\u2014or me\u2014as much!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another time I was walking with Debbie on a lonely corner of the ranch when two vicious-looking dogs rushed at us. The little girl screamed.<\/p>\n

Debbie had come to us from Korea where dogs were trained to kill during the war. She wouldn\u2019t even come near our gentle old Bullet, and these dogs were really savage.<\/p>\n

Then I remembered the lesson I\u2019d read to the children about love casting out fear. I held out my hands to the dogs and put every bit of love I could into my \u201cNice dog!\u201d The dogs slowed down, puzzled.<\/p>\n

I kept on telling them what good dogs they were until they stopped growling and started sniffing my hands instead. Then suddenly they both tried to lick my face!<\/p>\n

Never was a lesson in love so swiftly taught!<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m not trying to get away anymore to ask God\u2019s help. I\u2019m inviting God right in, to the most commonplace, troublesome times of the day\u2014and finding that He makes them brighter.<\/p>\n

Take bickering at the dinner-table, for instance. The children used to come clamoring to the table bringing the afternoon\u2019s quarrels with them and Roy and I would spend mealtime as an unwilling court of appeals.<\/p>\n

Then a while ago I had an idea. During meals at the convent, the Mother Superior read aloud from the Bible. What if I read aloud at the dinner table, just long enough for the ruckus to quiet down?<\/p>\n

The Bible itself, of course, was a little difficult for the five-year-olds. Then I discovered The Moody Bible Story Book, simple enough for Dodie and Debbie but complete enough for our teen-agers.<\/p>\n

Each chapter takes about ten minutes to read, long enough for quarrels to be forgotten. And if my own potatoes are a little cold by then\u2014why, the Bible has help for that too:<\/p>\n

Better a morsel of dry bread,<\/em>
\n and peace with it,<\/em>
\n Than a house full of feasting,<\/em>
\n with strife!<\/em><\/p>\n
