i read a devotion while reading one of my favorite blogs today. i just loved it so and wanted to share it here. it meant a lot to me, because my job of being a momma is the most important thing to me (along with being a wife, of course). it is by far the most fullfilling, most rewarding thing/job that i have ever done or had. if you're a momma (or daddy for that matter), i hope you enjoy it and feel as blessed reading it as I did.
“parents tell their children to make sure they enjoy their life before they get married. young people want to do their own thing and enjoy life before settling down. they have come to think that settling down and having children will not be enjoyable. on the other hand, God equates having children with joy. motherhood is associated with joy “He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. praise the Lord.” psalm 113:9. it is true that there are many unhappy mothers and fathers. i believe this is mostly because of mind attitude. society has taught women to think that mothering is an inferior task and careerism is far more important, they feel bogged down with children who interfere with their life choices. they love their children, but they don’t love motherhood. this is the catch...it’s not enough to love our children; we must love motherhood! it is only when we embrace motherhood that we enter into the joy of it and begin to experience the fullness and anointing of motherhood that God intends us to walk in.” ~n. campbell
