"At the Farm" Painting by Pieter Hendrik Koekkoek.
"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of Hosts." - Charles Spurgeon
Dear Mothers,
Don't let the world distract you away from the most important job you will ever have. Don't let them pull you away with promises of money, fame and good times.
Here, in our humble homes, little by little and bit by bit, our quiet, steady influence in the home will impact society and succeeding generations. But it takes years and years to see the results. It takes toiling and tears and patience.
Mothers, don't give up. Joy will certainly come on resurrection morning.
Blessings

This is just the encouragement that was needed today! I'm going to print it out and put it in my Bible--if I can get the printer to work. :-)

ReplyDeleteSo very encouraging....I thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteI'd never read that quote of Spurgeon's before. It certainly grabbed hold of my attention!
