Thanks, Mom!
I fell down a step two weeks ago and sprained the soft tissues in my foot. The doctor told me to stay off it for three weeks. I suspect any mom of many will join me in laughing at such impossible advice. It's difficult to find time to sit down for a meal let alone for several hours at a time.
My wonderful mother didn't laugh. Instead, she jumped up the next morning at 3:30a and drove nine hours to come take care of my family of eight. For more than a week she did dishes, laundry, diaper duty, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and all other tasks involved in caring for six young children while I put my foot up and iced my sprain. I don't think she sat down the entire time she was here, but I was able to rest and let my foot heal . Hubby was able to go to work and did not have to use up every bit of leave we have left prior to baby number seven's arrival. I sure hope I will be such a help to my own children when they are adults and need assistance.
Thank you, Mom! You are AMAZING! |

About Me
My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry."
I am a mom of seven children ages nine and under (plus one on the way!) seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day!
