You are building and fostering a legacy of love, gentleness, fun, faithfulness, ethics, and on and on and on that will outlive you, to generations and generations after you and Andy have left this earth. (Deut 7:9) It can be so hard, like you said "menial", I think the dishawasher gets to me most; over and over and over, and again tomorrow LOL! But being there for all that little stuff, opportunities to, little by little, mold our children is truly priceless, as you know. As your sister said, the fruits of your labor will be evident, and already are. <br /><br />It can be hard to cling to God's plans for us in this fallen world where nearly everywhere you turn people want to discount the simple plan God laid out for families. And it is so refreshing to see other mom's doing just that. Thanks for posting Christy. Hope you guys are doing well!Beyond Blessed in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387120008402933869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308001618598887827.post-46919427778811139592011-03-10T22:13:52.969-08:002011-03-10T22:13:52.969-08:00I've yet to find a more challenging job (not t...I've yet to find a more challenging job (not that I've really been looking) than being the mother of a precocious child (or children.) I understand the tendency toward feeling "worthless," then I think, "Who could do as good a job at raising MY kid than ME?" That's right. NOBODY.<br />You rock.

And the fruit of your labor will be the amazing man that Jack will grow up to be.. (fruit of yours and Andy's that is.) But you are doing it. YOU are living the dream that so many women dream but won't admit. You are devoted, 100%, to your man, your child, your home.. but above all of that.. to God. Keep on, girl.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231529879472401866noreply@blogger.com
