Mom = Hard Work
Hi Friends and Mommies,
I sit writing with a "to-do" list that is longer than Niagara Falls todays, floors that need to be mopped, a side dish for a bbq tonight that I haven't made - let alone planned, a husband who is fighting a cold, and kids who need some squeezes, love, and direction today.
I don't write any of this to bore you with my life, but simply to say it's a lot. This job of wife, mom, homemaker, homeschool teacher, and daughter of Christ is a lot to carry. It takes work - exhaustive work at times and in truth it is should take a lot of work and energy. This job we are called to is not for the faint of heart. When we read about the Proverbs 31 woman this is not a passive, laid back, unorganized woman. No, this woman wakes up with a plan ready to fight for her day, her home and her family. I love this woman - though I fail miserably at what she does with ease (maybe someday it will come a little easier!?!)
But my favorite part of Proverbs 31 is the very end -
Proverbs 31:31
Give her the fruits of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Friends, right now we are in the thick of work, maybe it's diapers and baby food, maybe it's toddlers and temper tantrums, maybe it's teen attitudes, maybe it's a special needs child, maybe it's messy floors and sinks full of dishes. Right now it is work, but make no mistake we need to focus on the end goal!
Our works will praise us someday. That day we see our children leave to go on a missions trip, the day our babies walk down the isle having chosen a Godly spouse, our children walking with Jesus, and GRAND BABIES - these will be our rewards someday. We do not work tirelessly day in and day out for today or even next month. No friends, we are building a legacy, a heritage, and an eternity. Do not grow weary in doing good. Push hard and rely not on your own strength, but on His - for it is only in His strength that we will ever be able to keep our head above water.
Love you friends,
Jenny
