Good morning dear ladies..
sending a little musical encouragement for all the loving and hard-working mothers out there today!
Sometimes it's hard to feel the blessing or worth of the many things we do for our family,
but if we choose to see the hum-drum daily service we offer them as
our act of worship to God,
our act of worship to God,
we'll discover joy and find contentment and deeper purpose in it all.
Shifting our perspective off our own comfort and needs, in order to care for others is a sacrifice of love.
As godly wives and mothers, we are used to "doing" for others and hope that we do it with grace..
but we also know that it can sometimes wear us down a little bit.
God understands!
Relying on His help and appreciating the opportunities He gives us to
serve Christ through serving our loved ones
serve Christ through serving our loved ones
is a powerful spiritual key which can turn our grumbling into gratitude!
It blesses and strengthens us and greatly pleases our Lord!
It blesses and strengthens us and greatly pleases our Lord!
And even if they don't tell us quite as often as we'd really like to hear it, deep in our hearts we know our family truly does appreciate us and everything we try to do for them.
That in itself is a sweet reward!
That in itself is a sweet reward!
After all, we don't take care of them just so as to get constantly complimented on it, but simply because we love them so very much.
Isn't that what makes it all worthwhile anyway?!
Yeah! ...I knew you'd agree :-)

If Ever You Worshipped , what a powerful and beautiful song. Your thoughts and encouragement is so appreciated, Trish. One of the reasons I started blogging was to find and make friends with women who loved God and wanted to serve Him by loving and serving their family, and I have found this in so many. I appreciate you so much for in you I find a woman such as this. You truly have a heart for home and family.

I use every opportunity to share Scripture, Jesus' love and His Grace with my children. There is not greater ministry.

I didn't get to comment the last time I was here but this video ( I hadn't seen in a long time) just reminded me of some very important worship as a mother. Thank you for the reminder for I needed it!
