You want no direction from me how to employ your time. I thank God for his inspiring you with a resolution of being faithful in improving that important talent committed to your trust... I see nothing in the disposition of your time but what I approve, unless it be that you do no assign enough of it to meditation, which is (I conceive) incomparably the best means to spiritualize our affections, confirm our judgments, and add strength to our pious resolutions of any exercise whatever. ~Susanna Annesley Wesley (letter to son John, March 30, 1734)
