I often feel insignificant staying at home with my kids and not pursuing a career, not having a fancy social life, and never having gone to college (among other things). But a friend shared this with me and I wish I could imprint these words in my brain and never forget them. My job, as a Mom, is possibly THE most important job I can have and I pray for God's grace and a Christ-like attitude as I go through the every day grind. I long to be joyful and inspiring to my kids.
Had to have a pic of my ornery, sweet boys and I :)
I hope that this can encourage other Moms as well!
Proverbs 31 Ministry:
Today I can be a woman who remembers I'm raising Christ-followers. That ... THAT is amazing! When I feel unnoticed, unappreciated and completely uninspired in the daily grind as a mom, I'll lift my focus off the laundry baskets, scattered Legos and dolls, and sticky Cheerios under the table ... and look to Jesus.
As He leads me, I'll lead my kids with patience, love and perseverance. And remember I'm building His Kingdom by investing in my children. I can take joy in this season because Jesus is More Than Enough to give me hope and delight.
