October 27: The view from where I sit. I’ve got the worst cold and I’m trying to stop thinking about all the dishes I should be washing, the mountain of clothes that needs to be put away and how crazy it’s gonna get here in another hour when all the kids are home from school and the little boys wake up….for these few minutes at least I’m just soaking in the silence and cuddles and documenting it here as proof that yes, these moments do occasionally happen!

May 9: I’m all for any day that upholds the office of motherhood, a godly calling our culture values very little. As Phyllis McGinley states “God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul.”
In Christian motherhood we make a confession in our very bodies as we birth children into the world or adopt children and care for them everyday, loving and praying for them for the rest of our lives. In this life of childbearing I hold to something outside of myself, to God’s goodness, His merciful forgiveness and His faithfulness to His children. I am incredibly blessed. Happy Mother’s Day.
