Do you sometimes wonder what you are accomplishing each day? You do the same things over and over again. You deal with the constant immaturities of little ones. You wish you could be doing something more worthwhile.
Dear mother, don't listen to these lies that fill your mind. You are in the most powerful career as you train the next generation. Your mothering is not only for today. It continues down the years. It continues to influence thousands of lives as your children go out into this world--sharpened, polished, filled with God's Word and the Holy Spirit.
Your influence goes on into generations. Every day you are mothering for generations to come.
Genesis 5:24 tells us that "Enoch walked with God." Even more amazingly, we see in Genesis 6:9 that "Noah walked with God." Four generations after Enoch, his great-grandson, Noah is continuing to walk with God. What a great testimony.
Keep this vision in your heart, dear mother. Train your children each day with his in your heart. Pray for it. Believe for it, that even when you have passed on, your progeny will continue to walk with God because of your influence as a mother.
