She says "as moms , we need to be reminded of the awesome responsibility that God has given us. When we respond to the high calling motherhood with passion, the rewards are far greater than any we could ever gain outside of that calling. The joys of motherhood are rare and beautiful treasures that can be easily missed if we don't seize the opportunity to grab them.Being a mom is more than being a cook, chauffeur, maid, counselor, doctor, referee, disciplinarian, etc. ( just to name a few.) Its about molding character, building confidence, nurturing, training, and guiding. My greatest accomplishment today was nurturing the two precious children that God has entrusted to my care "....How beautiful...Well .... Moms with those thoughts in our minds have a wonder rest of the day with your kiddies and wonderful weekend...Until next time...
