It's Worth it

1 Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

It’s no secret that life is hard and that it seems to only get harder. You try your best to cook healthy meals for your family. You encourage and respect your husband. Maybe you have a ministry outside your home. And, you raise, discipline and teach your children. It’s exhausting. It’s real work. Whether you have one child or 12 children, it takes time and sacrifice. But, perhaps, the hardest part of it all is the constant, nagging thought in the back of your mind, “is it really worth it?”

When you are in the midst of it all, you can’t see the impact you are making on the lives of the people around you. That doesn't mean your efforts are useless. And it definitely doesn't mean you should give up. It is worth it. It’s worth all the lack of sleep. It’s worth the time spent in the kitchen. It’s worth all the research. It’s worth all the energy. It’s worth the tears. You can do it, mom. You must do it, mom. And you must do it all for the glory of God.
