Which job do you think is the most important one for mothers?

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3

Not one of the other jobs does God call a heritage of the LORD and a reward. Even Mother Theresa spent her life helping children. “How can there be too many children? That is like saying their are too many flowers.” Our children and grandchildren are our greatest treasures. Nothing in this world even comes close. It grieves me to hear young married couples who are not interested in having children or postponing having them because of the wife’s career.

  1. I am a mother of 7 blessings and being exactly what I always wanted to be, a wife and a mom. Even so, there are mornings like this morning when I have about 50 opportunities to avoid frustration and live in the grace of God. I have been praying all morning that I could respond to this temporary chaos in a way that glorifies God and sets an example for my children. And this is why – because it counts for eternity!

  2. I am the lucky mother to 16 blessings!!! I love them so much, and I am incredibly grateful that they are mine!!
