Send me a textHear on today's episode the one thing you need in order to reflect the heart of God.  Without it all you do is in vain. 1 Corinthians 13 for MomsIf I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its place,but have not love,I am a housekeeper not a homemaker.If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements,but have not love,my children learn cleanliness not godliness.If I scream at my children when they don’t follow instructions,get frustrated and fault them for every mess in our house,and have no grace and lovemy children learn that Mom cares more about having things done exactly her waythan about listening to the needs and hearts of her children.Love leaves the dust in search of a child’s laugh.Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk.Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.Love accepts the fact that I am the ever-present “mommy,”the taxi-driver to every childhood event,the counselor when my children fail or are hurt.Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, and runs with the child,then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood.Before I became a mother I took glory in having it altogether.Now I glory in knowing that God’s in control and His grace is sufficient for each day.All the projections I had for my house and my childrenhave faded away into insignificance,And what remain are the memories of my kids.Now there abides in my home scratches on most of the furniture,dishes with missing place settings,and bedroom walls full of stickers, posters, and markings,But the greatest of all is the Lovethat permeates my relationships with my children.-adapted from 1 Corinthians 13 by Jim FowlerSix Suggestions for Stressed Out MomsA Heart of Motherly AffectionLoving Your Child Through It AllWebsite - Refreshher.com Find me here on Instagram -Rate and Review on Apple Podcasts - Scroll all the way to the bottom to give a review.
