Thankfully, I gained a little perspective this morning while reading my Bible. I’m to submit to my husband (Col 3:18); be gentle, patient, loving and kind (Col 3:12); do my work as to the Lord and not to men (Col 3:23); keep pressing on toward the goal (Phil 3:14) and find enjoyment in the everyday ”meaningless” tasks (Eccl 2:24-26).
I know that the daily tasks are not meaningless. They are very important. I’m taking care of my family! They are VIP’s in my book! It is a sacred and fulfilling job – being a mother and wife. I do believe that with all of my heart. The truth is I love my job.
We all have days when we feel the monotony is more than we can stand. (right?) But let’s have hope! There is a bigger purpose and higher calling here! And I’m so thankful that I do not have to do this alone. The Lord is with me!
Thank you, Lord, for putting things back in focus!
Great reminder I needed! :O)
ReplyDeleteAMEN! HALLELUJAH, SISTER! :) I've been feeling the SAME way!!!!! Thank you! Can't wait to look up those Scriptures.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YA! (((HUGS)))
Gilly's crown ROCKS! :)
Great point! And too true. I get so bogged down in the fact that I will NEVER get everything done that I need to get done. A timely reminder is always great!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me think of years ago when I was raising 5 little ones. I remember having those days! A Lot!
ReplyDeleteYour post made me think of the post I wrote in Feb. about day in and day out.
You have way more positive influence than you know as a mother.
Keep up your loving work. You are making progress,
it's just happening underground right now!
P.S. And as hard as it is, find, no make, some time just for yourself!
ReplyDeletePaying a babysitter is cheaper than therapy.
(I know, I am a nanny and have gone to therapy!)
Again I think I blogged In Nov."Time Out For Me?" And wrote in my Thursday list that those who need us the most aren't usually the ones telling us to take a break.
Add yourself to your list!
It puts all the "other" stuff back in perspective.
This post made me smile. I think all mothers feel that way... so why do we try to put on pretenses and want other moms to think we've got it all together. Or maybe I'm the only one who does that.
