Mom's

I try really hard each day to focus on the cross and my motherly duties that God has asked me to do. But to be honest, some days are harder than others as between, school, chores, cooking, bickering, and such, things get lost and forgotten.

But as I was reading my Bible yesterday morning in 1 Thessalonians, I came across a beautiful verse that I never noticed before I read. Isn't that great how God's Word is alive!

1 Thess. 1:3

"...work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."

As a mom isn't that what we do. We work out of faith, we labor for love and endure because of our hope in Jesus. All of this stems from Jesus and our hearts being knit with His, to do His will each day, no matter what that may be. Remember that we were all called to do different things in God's Kingdom, some of us to be great politicians, missionaries, have many children, have none, take care of the animals, or anything else we can think of. But we are all GREAT in the Kingdom of God, so let us also remember to esteem others better than ourselves.

This verse is on a 3x5 card where I carry it around so that I will remember my focus. So if you read your Bible and some thing jumps out remember to write it down, carry it around, our Heavenly Father is talking to your heart.

God bless.
