"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men"
--Colossians 3:23


This is one verse I need to remind myself of constantly. As mothers, we can often feel like we are in a thankless job. Our husbands and kids don't usually say "thank you" or give us compliments on things we have done. We need to remind ourselves that ultimately, we do what we do for our Heavenly Father and not for our earthly family. We need to do our best because that is what God has called us to do, not because we will receive praise here on earth. Although it is nice to receive praise from our family, let us not forget that we shouldn't let our emotions and future achievements rest solely on that. Give it all you have because God asks us to do our best!
