Mothering

Scripture for today: "Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." ~Deuteronomy 4:9

What an awesome calling we have as mothers. Sometimes is seems a little overwhelming. Thank God for his faithfulness. He never leaves us or forsakes us, and He gives us the strength to go on.

My preteeen daughter is growing quickly and beautifully. Inside and out. :-) I was recently looking at some of her pictures when she was a baby and a toddler, and boy those years have passed almost as a blink of an eye. Before you know it, she will be off to college. (Super Gulp!)

As you know, I also have an infant, who has truly brought additional excitement and joy to our home over the past few months. The gift of life is soooo precious. The Lord has blessed me with two angels.

What a gift He has given us,
with this precious thing called life.
It is such a special blessing,
being a mother and a wife.

On Mothering: I highly recommend The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson.
