This morning we had a school forum at MOPS. It was very interesting for all of us! One thing that the homeschool speaker had to say that I really enjoyed, was this thought. She said that we as mothers are like the builders of a cathedral. Sometimes the builders of a cathedral work on minute details that no one ever sees and they do it simply because God will see it.
That is the way we as mothers are, we do many things no one ever sees. The owies we kiss, the diapers we change and the laundry that is dirty once again that we just washed.
But we have to remember that God sees our daily work with our children and although it may be hidden, later it will be a small person that may be as great as a cathedral, it may not be as great as that, but the work we do is important, whether anyone sees it or not.
I felt inspired by this statement and wanted to share it with you!
Thanks Martha. That actually brought tears to my eyes… I have been feeling sorry for myself the last couple of days because of all the un-noticed parts of life as a mom. This is what I needed to hear.
Anonymous was my by the way… ~Diana
I know, me too! Another mother there this morning thanked me for inviting her to come as our homeschool rep. because it made her almost cry too. There are so many things no one notices when we are a mom and sometimes I get really bogged down by it all!
I am glad it encouraged you!
