Leaving a Legacy

I was watching a clip of The Passion of the Christ and felt the feeling that Mary must have felt seeing her Son being taken to the Cross.

Sometimes I feel guilty because I look just like Mary did at my children today. I see them as a young child……as a mom, that is such a tie that God gives us……we are described as a vine and it is a weak plant but has tremendous strength…….your children don’t have a clue what it feels like to love them and care for them do they? And really that is the gift we are given as moms….to love unconditionally…..we stay up late nights, we clean up their doody diapers…..we kiss them, we tell them stories, we are sad when they are sad, we stay up late, we accept them for who they are…….it takes work to see their bad……..but we do get a reward and that is to be called blessed by them……she has blessed me is what they will say…..Proverbs 31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed…..her husband also, and he praises her.

Isaiah 66:13

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.

The sad thing is that the world has infiltrated the church and we have bought it hook, line and sinker. The loosers are our husbands and our children.

If you are building a home, you may not be able to see with your eyes what the final product will be but you can by faith kind of, what you are shooting for. The hard work we put into our children now is for the legacy we leave to them later. Eric and I have 7 children, currently we homeschool 5 of them. If you were like me you would gag at the thought of a freaky homeschool mom. But as I tell my children, you can’t always judge a book by its cover.
