People always say, "You don't work a job?!" As if being a stay-at-home mom means you sit around and watch soaps all day! Yeah right! Not if you are a godly mother, who feels that you will someday give account to God for your time. Who truly sees the value of her job, even though she does not get a paycheck, and is rated as a big fat "0" by the government! We have all heard the saying that a man's work is from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done! How true that is. Thank God for the working fathers too. They are every bit just as important. And thank God for the mother's who have no choice but to also work a job outside the home, just to make ends meet! God will give them the grace to overcome!
EVERYONE WANTS A MOM BUT NO ONE WANTS TO “BE ONE.” THAT’S BECAUSE THE JOB DESCRIPTION COVERS THE TASKS OF UP TO 3 JOBS OR MORE! DON’T BELIEVE ME? TAKE A LOOK AT THE JOBS I PERSONALLY DO FOR MY FAMILY AND SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRADE ME PLACES ;)

LOL BUT I AM NOT COMPLAINING - RATHER THANKFUL TO GOD FOR HIS MANY BLESSINGS & THE STRENGTH AND WISDOM TO PERFORM EACH TASK! TO HIM BE ALL GLORY HONOR AND PRAISE!!!
My family often pitches in and helps me with the above chores, because just as soon as you get most of it done, you have to start all over again They are not lazy at all - just busy working jobs outside the home and helping with expenses!
THANK GOD FOR ALL MOTHERS WHO FAITHFULLY PERFORM THEIR DUTIES BEFORE GOD WITHOUT MURMURING OR COMPLAINING. HEAVEN HOLDS THEIR GREAT REWARD!!!
