My investment in my children was about more than all the routine work of motherhood, and even more than my spiritual influence as a discipler. In the bigger picture of my life at home, I was civilizing my children, and shaping their hearts and lives. I was cooperating with God to mold them into well-rounded adults.
A culture who has lost the imagination of the importance of motherhood leaves children at risk. Children are the next generation of adults who will make decisions from the foundations of their souls.
Each mom has a different puzzle but she has to keep what is a priority to God at the center of her decisions in life, and when she seeks the heart of God, her legacy will be one of faith and faithfulness and will have implications for eternity.
