"If
you really want to stop just surviving motherhood, you have to find
meaning in motherhood that transcends the day to day-ness of your
life. Cooking and cleaning have to stop being tiresome chores,
naughtiness has to stop being a personal offense, and the needs of
your family have to stop being interruptions to your day.
You
have been entrusted with tomorrow’s fathers and mothers,
grandfathers and grandmothers. You have been entrusted with the
next generation of believers, the future servants of our Lord and
Savior, the Light-bearers and Truth-speakers of tomorrow. They
just happen to bundled up in little, foolish, needing-to-be-honed
packages you get to unwrap!"

DeleteThe day that I decided to thrive instead of survive mothering, was one of the most monumental days of my life. It changed everything. My children became more of burden, this thing that I had to endure until they grew up, to a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and taking time to encourage me. i will pray for your situation as well. My marriage has not been an easy one, but we are celebrating 17 years in a week.
Blessings,
Stacie
Thanks for the prayers, Stacie. I'm so thankful that my husband and I have each other - and the Lord, of course - to help us get over life's "speed-bumps". :)
