"For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministering to the saints"
Hebrews 6:10
What a great reminder that God never forgets what I am doing! He never forgets that taking care of His child, Ava, is ministering right back to Him. I tend to forget that everything we do, we should do to honor Him. So, when i'm not feeling so motherly one day, i need to refocus my attitude and praise God in everything I do. This, of course, is MUCH easier said than done. Why is it that we know what we ought to do, but don't do it? Like this verse I am learning each and every day how to change my attitude and to not focus on the dirty dishes, but focus on the task of doing everything honoring to God, even if i have to be a little bit grumpy doing it ;)

Ooooh. This is a GOOD POST. What a great reminder. The Lord is mindful of all we do and He will not forget the small tasks we, as mothers, undertake each day.
So glad I found your blog!
So true! I need reminders like that almost weekly it seems like! I'm so glad what we do is just as important to God as it would be if we were out in the "real world" having a job. It always makes me feel that even though some may not understand staying at home full-time, I know it is what God has called me to do and it is so important! Thanks for the great verse as a reminder!
Raising our children for the Lord is sooo much more important than "marketing potato chips" as one woman told me.
"With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by HIS POWER He may fulfill every good purpose of yours, and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the Name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Thess. 1:11,12
