Quote for the day

Life is like a cup of coffee,

sometimes you have to go through the grind, 

but God fills it up with a special blend!

The Mothers Calling

As a mother I face a beautiful calling! The nurturing of tiny people! All the schooling, kissing, singing, and reading, along with the mountains of dirty clothes, dishes to wash and never ending toys to pick up are mine! The best way I have figured out how to 'deal' with all this is to just make up my mind that it IS a 'calling' and a beautiful one! Then the weight of the workload shifts and becomes wonderful in itself! I don't really like to work alone so my children join me! What fun we have! (= If the standards aren't to high and everyone is helping, work can almost seem like play. We slip in some classical or praise and worship music and away we go. A cousin of mine wrote a song and the chorus goes like this;

 For you are called to the Kingdom for such a time as this, 

God has designed that you be where you are. 

Just touch the scepter held out to let you know, 

You have the 'call' and with it strength to go!

So often, I feel like I really don't have the strength and then this song comes to mind. I believe that when God calls us to a certain field in life, He gives us the strength to go there. And stay there... Til the calling comes to move on to a new field! 

So lets draw from His Word and He will give us the grace we need! (= 

Have a blessed day!
