A preposition is a word that indicates a relationship between other words. Examples of prepositions are: at, in, on, to, for, from, with, through, etc. A prepositional phrase is constituted by a preposition and its object (complement). In the sentence we are analyzing here, the preposition is "from". Therefore, the prepositional phrase is "from a long day at work". This phrase modifies the word "tired" by giving additional information as to why Taylor's mother was tired.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
