Monday. Here we go again.
I don’t know about you but the older my kids get, the faster the days go.
Each day has it’s own challenges, but in many ways, the days are like each other: dishes, laundry, tidy up, discipline, train, teach.
This morning as I spent a little time in 1 Corinthians 3, I was reminded that God, who does all things well, knows exactly what I need for each day. He’s not fretting over the details, either. He’s simply waiting for me to do my part.
Allow me to paraphrase – meaning, this is what the Lord showed me as I was reading this beautiful passage today.
v.5-6 …the Lord has assigned to each his task. You and your husband plant and water the seed, but God makes it grow.”
Such a wonderful reminder! Don’t grow weary in doing good, busy mom.
Do your part today. Water, nurture, water some more. Love your kids today. Praise them. Discipline them.
And then trust God.
Only God makes things grow.
“He makes all things beautiful … in His time.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11
This is just the encouragement I neded this morning. I have been fretting over the details for the past few days. I know I need to leave it in God’s hands. Thanks! 🙂
You can do it, Krissy! 🙂 ((hugs))
Thank you for this. A lot of times we feel like failures if our child(ren) don’t seem to get it. Then we abandon the compassion and replace it with frustration. But we need to keep in mind our purpose is to plant. Even to water, but never to grow. God is the only one who can do that. Thanx so much for the reminder.
Thank you Heidi for the reminder. With Summer looming on the horizon I worry about “getting it all done”. This was just what I needed to start fresh today.
Keeping the main things the main things…..an authentic life filled with love for the Lord, learning, forgiving, discipline, encouragement. Thanks so much!
Thank you for posting this. I needed it, today.
Thank you for this today… Spoke to this heart of mine 😉
You have just spoken God’s Words of encouragement to me! Very timely!
Loved these lines most:
Don’t grow weary in doing good, busy mom.
Do your part today. Water, nurture, water some more. Love your kids today. Praise them. Discipline them.
And then trust God.
Only God makes things grow.
This was a much needed reminder for me, and came at the perfect time. Thank you!
