Mothers, don’t let anyone ever dupe you into thinkingthere’s anything ignoble or disgraceful
about remaining at home and raising your family.
Don’t buy the lie that you’re repressed
if you’re a worker in the home
instead of in the world’s workplace.
Devoting yourself fully to your role
as wife and mother is not repression;
it is true liberation.
Multitudes of women have bought the world’s lie,
put on a suit, picked up a briefcase,
dropped their children off for someone else to raise,
and gone into the workplace,
only to realize after 15 years that they and their children
have a hollow void in their hearts.
Many such career women now say they wish
they had devoted themselves to motherhood
and the home instead.

In this day and age, even amongst Christians,
I see the need for encouragement such as this!
May our vision be the Lord's
and not what society deems correct!
Blessings,

Amen! I have seen so many dear sisters in Christ trying to follow the world's standards rather than the Lord's and it has been a quite a cost :o(
Blessings to each of you!

Trying to have it all often ends with having little at all of has lasting value.

Kalianne,
What a great quote from you ~ "Trying to have it all often ends with having little at all that has lasting value".
How true this is and how sad that people are often discovering it, too late, many years after they listened to the world's view on motherhood and being a homemaker :o(

Blessings to each of you!

As my daughter and I were preparing the evening meal last night she brought this subject up. Seems many of her college age friends have their sights on career rather than marriage and family. She asked why people think it's a waste of time to devote themselves to being a wife and mother. I'm so thankful to have a daughter with a desire for family. :o)
Lady Jane,
In the day in which we live, even amongst Christians, I would say you are blessed to have a daughter with a heart for family and children :o)
Sad to say, if you bring up the subject amongst your college friends, they think you're going to waste your life and even sadder, when you bring the subject up amongst some believers, they think the same way :o(
May the Lord continue to open her heart to His leading ... for HIS glory!
Blessings,
Dallas
