After reading this blog post by Sally Clarkson <http://www.itakejoy.com/the-inestimable-value-of-a-wise-mother/>
I was reminded of why I do what I do. Even though my days can be
somewhat mundane and monotonous as a stay-at-home mom, I am so thankful
for the reminder that this is an incredible ministry!
This quote taken from Sally's post especially spoke to my heart:
This quote taken from Sally's post especially spoke to my heart:
"It
is indeed the personal touch of a mother’s heart that creates grand
civility, deep affection, care and commitment to the foundations of a
family. When the invisible strings of a mother’s heart are tied to the
heart of her children through loving sacrifice and nurture, the
stability and foundations of a nation become secure and stable. A
mother, living well in her God-ordained role, is of great beauty and
inestimable value to the future history of any generation."
Wow!
I am influencing the "stability and foundations of a nation." That is a
pretty high-calling! So I will rest in the daily-ness of motherhood,
knowing I am making an inestimable difference in the shaping of two
little lives to love God and follow Him wholeheartedly.
