While out reading Crystal's Blog I found a post written by Maryanne.  She wrote it much more thoughtfully than I could and I found myself wanting to shout (but not wanting to scare the children, decided not to)!  Those who know me well know that this issue is a soapbox for me.  So, go read it and thank God you didn't have to trudge through the snow to get milk for your kiddos this morning!

May we seek our identity in Christ alone and not in our relationships, jobs, or culture...

May we find purpose in fulfilling our God-given roles rather than being relavent...

May we seek success through obedience to His Word rather than padding our wallets...

May we obey because of a circumsized heart rather than to meet an external standard...

May we realize that training our children builds eternity and brings glory to God!

Excuse me...I need to change a diaper...duty calls!
