Mom

You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. ~ 1Peter 3:4

Mothers give birth, nurture and wipe away tears. They love unconditionally, teach compassion, love and fearlessness. Moms are precious souls who give unselfishly, who dreams great dreams for her child, and teaches him to chase them. Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but hold their hearts forever.

Excuse This House

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there,

Ours boasts it quite openly,
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges are on the doors

I should apologize, I guess
For toys strew on the floor.

But I sat down with my child
And we played and laughed and read

And if the doorbell doesn’t shine,
His eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I’m forced to choose
The one job or the other,

I’d like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I’ll be a mother.

Seeking and Following,
Dean

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
