When I honor my husband or honor my childrenāI honor God. Second only to his own Son, They are the most important gift on this earth that He has given me. When I treasure and cherish those gifts as they are intended to beāI am ultimately honoring The Lord most of all.
When I make a fresh meal for dinner.
When I fold the endless laundry.
When I clean a dirty diaper or cradle a heavy toddler when his ābo boā hurts.
When I hold a sweet face in my hands and speak worth into itā¦.in these big and small ways, Iām honoring Him above all.
In every big and small way, I have an opportunity to reflect Jesus to my family each day.
So, you wonāt find me complaining about this calling. Iām not perfect, I definitely have my weak moments and sleepy mornings. I occasionally lose my patience along with important papers and the many necessary items for school events and extra curricular activities š¤Ŗ But I remember the way the Lord put such a desire in my heart for a big family, and am reminded that He graces us for the things He calls us to. And Iām instantly filled with gratitude and a new JOY!
Happy Motherās Day, mamas! Youāre doing a great job, I hope you know it! There is so much grace for you to lean into every day as you pick up your calling and match all those dang SOCKS! (Why are we all doing the sock thing all the time though?!?)
