Serving Others With Joy

Eight years ago today I gave birth to a healthy 10 pound 2 ounce baby boy. HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY, DREW! I love you very much!

A mother's life is seldom easy. You carry a large responsibility in your family. When you walk with God, He promises that the burden is light and His yoke is easy.

Delight and fulfillment go hand-in-hand as a mother seeks to find purpose in the responsibility of serving her family. She is the center of the home, and God has given her the unique ability to create an atmosphere of peace and joy that only she can bring.

Ask God to draw you so close to Him that your child(ren) see God in you, even in the hardest of times. They see peace even when it makes no sense. They see joy when there's no reason to be joyful. So when they do come to the end of themselves, they remember....A Mom who turned to Christ for strength. A Mom who prayed. A Mom who caught them doing things right and noticed. A Mom who stood firm as she trusted her son/daughter to grow and become a better man/woman. They'll know God is real.

Let the joy of the Lord fill your countenance so that what you portray may be contagious to everyone you influence and come in contact with daily. You are God's gift to those you love.

Joyfully,
Dalinda
