A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life.
She feared she was wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother.
She wondered if the time and energy she invested in her husband and children would make a difference. At times she got discouraged because so much of what whe did seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated. "Is it worh it" She often wondered.
"Is there something better that I could be doing with my time?"
It was during one of these moments of questioning that she heard the still small voice of her heavenly Father speak to her heart.
"You are a wife and mother because that is what I have called you to be."
Much of what you do is hidden from the public eye. " But I notice."
Most of what you give is done without remuneration. "But I am your reward."
Your husband cannot be the man I have called him to be without your support. Your influence upon him is greater than you think and more powerful than you will ever know. I bless him through your service and honor him through your love.
Your children are precious to me.. Even more precious than they are to you. I have entrusted them to your care to raise for me. What you invest in them is an offering to me.
You may never be in the public spotlight, But your obedience shines as a bright
light before me. Continue on. Remember you are MY Servant.
Do all to please me.

MY NOTES: My friend called me today and said she went to a store with her friend and she prayed if there was something that God wanted for her to see or have that He show it to her. As she walked about for a moment this poem that was in a frame caught her eye. She said she immediately knew it was from God.
She called me moments later, as it was something she felt was for me and for her.
I was so blessed by this poem..it is so precious and brings so much light into the fact that we always feel as if we as mother's and wive's are just not living the dream God had intended for us, but yet what we do is so very valuable in our children's lives and in the lives of our husband's and mostly in the Eyes of God..to Whom we wish to please so much.
thank you to my dear friend for calling me and sharing with me this blessing today.
