This morning, I was reflecting on my role as a Mother.
I was reminded of this in church, of all places! A comment was made like, “Oh, you only work part time? How many hours?” Sometimes I just want to scream, “You are kidding, right?”
Comments like that hurt me to
the bone. And I only have one kid!
Think of a stay at home mom who has several children,
who chooses to raise her children full-time and not work outside
the home.
She works harder than anyone could ever imagine!
This wonderful job requires the skills of a teacher, counselor, maid, short-order cook, nurse, party planner, financial analyst, and chauffer! Unfortunately, the society we live in today has downplayed the importance of my role as a mom.

If I want to define my role the
way God defines it, I must turn
to the only standard that really
counts: The Bible.
When those blues of
discouragement start
clouding my thoughts, I
am choosing to
that my God holds me
in the highest esteem-
if you don’t believe
me, read Proverbs
chapter 31.
