| Note to All You Moms... |
I was reminded again in my devotions today of the following verses:
Colossians 3:23-24
"Whatever you do [as a mother] , work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
I was so humbled, as I thought that God has "hired" me, he is my employer, and he has entrusted to me His creation, Maggie and Madeline. My job is a "holy calling," and I know that that reminder will help me keep my focus as I "work" in this "occupation" this week. I hope it is an encouragement to you as well. |

Wow, talk about convicting. I can't tell you how many times I clean my home and don't think about doing it for God's glory. Although, I was outside cleaning the flowerbeds in front of the house this evening and chatting with Andy (JA was giving the girls their bath). And I was telling Andy that we needed to keep our yard clean so we could bring glory to God. Thanks for the post. What a priviledge to be homemakers in the service of the King.

Thanks for your post--I have been bombarded with this reminder a lot lately--It is neat how God uses different avenues to show us things He desires to change in our lives.

Thanks for the verse, Trisha! Today I'm cleaning out multiple closets and trying to get my house VERY clean for an appraiser that's coming tomorrow...what a good verse to help keep my attitude right in the process! :) The verse that I've been thinking about all morning is..."This is the day that the Lord hath made, I WILL rejoice and be glad in it!"
Happy Tuesday! :)
