Homeschooling a Houseful

I was so encouraged today by something someone said to me.  When mentioning the fact that I have 10 children her jaw didn't drop.  Her reply was, "What an awesome minstry you have."  She told me that it is a "calling".  She said that if ever someone is being negative about our calling that I am just to remember what  a great minstry dh and I have.  She told me I am blessed beyone imagination (that I already knew).  I said that yes, we do feel very strongly that God has called us to have as many children as He chooses. 

I think the ministry part is what really encouraged me.  The Lord knew that I needed to hear that today and how wonderful is it that HE sent someone to tell me.  I have been feeling like I don't do enough...not enough in the church...no enough for friends...just not enough anywhere.  I feel that way, but at the same time wonder how in the world can I do anymore.  I love being a mom, and when I am trying to do other things I become a .... well a cranky mom, an in a hurry mom.  I hate being that way so I have really committed myself to not doing to much.  I remember reading in a book once that our children are not to be a distraction from what we are doing...they are our most important ministry.  Being a mom of 10 children takes a lot of time.  So....having being told today that having a large family is a ministy...a ministry that we are called to, well I feel so encouraged and even challenged to be an even better mom.

Just wanted to share.
