“How do we make the commitment to give the area of motherhood over to God as a sacrifice of worship to him? We yield our personal rights into his hands. We give up our time and expectations to him-and also our fears and worries about how we will manage. We trust him to take care of us and our family. We let him redirect our thinking and expectations and adjust our dreams. And we wait in faith to see the fruit of our hard labor in the lives of our children, knowing that he will be faithful to honor our commitment to him.”
The Mission of Motherhood, p. 54

This is so encouraging as I am dealing with a disrespectful 3 year old these day! Ouch! I never really knew how hard this would be but I am glad I have the Lord to lean on.

THIS REMINDS ME OF THAT SCRIPTURE IN GALATIANS 6:9,10
AND LET US NOT GROW WEARY WHILE DOING GOOD, FOR IN DUE SEASDON WE SHALL REAP IF WE DO NOT LOSE HEART.
THEREFORE AS WE HAVE OPPERTUNITY, LET US DO GOOD TO ALL, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.
LOVE,
NETTIE
