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.
