YOU ALREADY HAVE THE BIGGEST JOB
Have you heard this story? Many, many years ago when China was open to the Gospel, a missionary worked hard to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Standard Oil Company was impressed with the way he worked and offered him good money to develop a branch of their company in China.
He turned them down!
The company was shocked. They doubled their money. He could live a life of luxury.
The missionary turned them down again!
The company was puzzled. “We can’t offer you any more money,” they said. “But what else can we do to entice you?”
What was his reply? "The money's not too small; the job is!"
This missionary was working for an eternal reward.
Dear mother, you are doing the same. Motherhood is an eternal career. As you embrace your motherhood and train and nurture your children in a godly manner you are preparing them for eternity. Motherhood surpasses any other career, no matter how much you are paid. That money will never be worth the time you give up on spending time with your children.
