Being a Mom is Not a Leftover Job

If you are a mother, stop what you are doing and read this. Read every word and let it sink deep down into your soul.

The world- our society- they make it seem like being a mother is a leftover job. Like it’s something you do if you don’t have something more important to do. It feels as if everyone is saying, “Oh, you can’t come and contribute to the world, so you’re just a mom.”

And you know what? That is so far from the truth. Being a mom is the most amazing contribution you could give to society. Raising kids who are healthy, happy, and who go out into the world and make a difference… actually, that’s a pretty great contribution.

You are the middle man between God, our Heavenly Father, and these children you are raising. He did not send them to Earth with a textbook or a college degree. He sent them to YOU, their mother. THE mother of these beautiful, wonderful children.

It is not something that’s leftover. It’s not just a task you’ve been given because nobody else would do it. It is a task you’ve been given because He has trusted you to do it!

Ask your Heavenly Father how He feels about you as a mother. I promise to you that you will know that what you are doing is important. You are important. And the way you raise those children… it matters.
