Focus on the family
I was encouraged on a talk from focus on the family today.
A mother was completing her university degree and was asked what is it that she wanted to do with her life and the direction she wanted to take.
She answered that what she truly in her heart wanted to do was to be at home and be a devoted wife and mother to her children. She answered as though being a stay at home mum to look after her home and children was not a career. Why is it that some woman feel as though being a "stay at home mum" can't be a career. A fulfilling career?
Generations ago, being at home was considered normal and highly regarded.
They mentioned that for some mothers, entering the workforce is most suited to them or is required for their situation. I guess, that if we choose to be a stay at home mum we should embrace this choice.
As Ethan bites my finger and has a chuckle about it, his smelly nappy needs changing, mummy needs to shower and Lachlan is watching a bit more TV than he should.
I pray Lord that you help me embrace this role you have given me to be a stay at home mum. Help me be the best wife and mother that I can be. I don't know tomorrow but I will live for today. I pray also for the mothers who are in the workforce, bless them Lord and give them strength as they juggle work and home.
