I wanted to let you know...

If you are a little down today or just need a little pick me up remember a few things...


When you are cleaning the toilets, you are making your home a safe and clean place for your family.


When you are cleaning the kitchen for the 100th time today, you are supplying the needs of your family.


When you continue to step on the same toy each time you walk in the living room, you have made your home a happy place for your children to be children.


When your little one(or big one) wants to sit in your lap for a little attention, you are holding the future and what you say to them matters more than you could imagine. Who knows, they may someday repeat your words to someone in Africa when they take their first missions trip.


When you look in the face of your children and feel that you are not getting through to them, know that God has trusted you with those children and you can do ALL things through Christ who gives you strength.


When you feel like everything you do may be for nothing and no one appreciates you, YOU are loved and adored by all in your family and your home would not be HOME without you!


Be encouraged today and know that every moment of your life is worth it!
