For Mother's Day this year, I received a book titled "The Ministry of Motherhood" and it has quickly become one of my favorite books to read. Here is an excerpt from today that really hits close to home:
"As mothers, we have the hearts and the trust of our children from the earliest moments of their lives, and they need us for so many reasons. They naturally look to us for physical sustenance, protection, affection. Deep in their hearts, however, they also long for a special place to belong, a place to feel their worth, and they need us to help them find it. These precious children were designed to fulfill a purpose for God by bringing his glory to bear through their lives. They were designed to be his hands, his voice, his heart and mind through the various kinds of work they undertake in his world."
LOVE IT! I can't think of a better reason for being parents. Even though this book is primarily focused on moms, this particular quote is equally important for dads as well.
For my mom friends out there, if you are looking for a good read this summer, I encourage you to try this book!
