I need that! My life is far from perfect. I am still very much in the process of growing, of being changed, and of serving!
Over 42 years ago I was brought into the forever family of God by His grace. Since then, I have lived, grown, and served by His grace!
I will need His grace for the rest of my life! So will you!
NOW... some grace that needs to be given in light of yesterday's sermon... (for info on yesterday's sermon, see yesterday's blog or log on to our church site and listen to the sermon!)
God's standard for moms... raise your own children in your own home, not passing it off to a daycare or others! Stay out of the workforce and in the home. Titus 2:3-5; I Timothy 5:14
HOWEVER... there are situations with extenuating circumstances! There are single moms who have no choice right now. There are couples who have obligated themselves up the river and have to pay their bills. In those cases, we need to extend grace and mercy! As I said, I need grace!
If you are a new couple or new parents, make the decision early on that, rather than trying to have it all right now, you are going to sacrifice in order to keep mom home with those young children!!! Make that decision before you are over obligated!
For single moms, I pray that God will place good people in your life to come along side of you and help! You need grace! We need to extend grace!
Thank you. Sometimes it is so hard being a single mom. Sometimes I feel defeated when I am told that I have to find at least 20 minutes per day and just sit and play with my son, one on one. I feel like saying...sure...just add that to other 1000 things that I have to do everyday being the Mother and the Father of the household. It gets very exhausting. But thank you so much for your prayers of Grace. Trust me we ALL need it once in a awhile.
Have a Blessed Day! M

As a working Mom, I'm not offended by the idea that Mom's should stay home. It is the best way. It does honestly make me feel even more guilty than I already am though. :( I need a lot of grace.
