A common thing experienced by women is feeling unappreciated as a wife and mom.  Yet God still sees EVERYTHING you do. He sees your faithfulness in serving your family, and He sees the loving way in which you do it. Though it may often go unnoticed by others, it will NEVER go unnoticed by your Father.

 

While you may get weary and worn in your daily duties, many of which can be very mundane, God sees your perseverance, even on those days when you are absolutely exhausted.

 

He sees you when you are up all night with a sick child. He sees you on your knees in prayer over a wayward child.

 

He sees when you wash that load of laundry you would rather leave undone. He sees when you wash that load of dishes when you would prefer to be reading a book or taking a nap. He sees you cleaning the house when you would rather eat a good candy bar while chatting with a friend.  He sees you on those days when you feel so lonely, lost in the myriad of tasks which are part of motherhood. In those times, He reaches out to you, saying, "My precious daughter, I am here. Listen for my voice, for I am always trying to express my deep love for you."
