Finding Joy

I read this on one of my blogs I keep up with and thought how perfect after my morning of listening to the boys play so nicely with each and being kind to one another. They must have played together for two hours upstairs. I treasure these moments because one day soon they will be gone! I laid in bed with my coffee listening to them. I take these moments in when I can because they give me joy and a time to remember that yes my task as a mother is tiring and your heart can be heavy with guilt but glimpse like these, bring me joy and this is why I do what I do and they I wouldn't trade it for any job in the world!

"I like to think of the special moments in motherhood as tiny glimpses of heaven. The snuggles, the giggles, and the little blessings, are a shadow of the amazing joy that is to come if our faith rests in Christ. That is the true joy of motherhood.with the peace that the Lord holds our children’s and our futures in His hands. Our joy is in knowing the promises that hold true in our lives will hold true in our children’s as well." From a blog by KM Logan titled..."The Joy of Motherhood is In the Cross"-on the Joyful Mothering Blog from today....

She describes without the cross we do not have these blessings, without the cross we have no forgiveness or strength, or hope of a heaven for our children or hope of life filled with a purpose.

You can take joy in knowing your children will face uncertain days but with Christ they will always have hope!
As mothers with Christ we can always find hope in our weary days....
