Thoughts on Motherhood

Aug 02, 2022

In a culture that belittles the grand calling of motherhood and pushes with so many weakly veiled needlings of how we should “be more, do more, play big, love ourselves above everything” - we are quiet rebels you and I. We are fighting an epic battle against villains we can hardly define through the thick shadows and we are doing it by serving with willing hearts and open hands those within our spheres of influence.
.
We battle the darkness with each kiss to a dirty forehead, with each candle we light and cup of tea that we pour, with every cookie we bake, with every snuggle we give instead of mowing over tender hearts in our quest to “get things done”. 
.
We are warrior mothers and our battle cries of love and wonder and mercy and grace will echo out into eternity as we turn our hearts to our Father in heaven and rightly order our affections towards Him and toward the precious souls He has entrusted into our care.
.
Keep learning to love what must be done and delight in your extraordinary calling, dear friend. This life of messy home and overflowing heart is a eucatastrophe in the making. And as we see our part to completion - what a glorious end it will be!
