Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.

I wanted to write some messages from my heart to yours that might, for just a moment every day, encourage you in your task, grant you a bit of wisdom, remind you that your life today will reap rewards for all eternity, and show you truths from His Word.
We sacrifice our lives so that they can go into the world spiritually strong, emotionally healthy, and with a virtuous character intact. When we become God’s agents in passing on lifegiving messages to our children, we are serving Him and His Kingdom purposes in meaningful ways. You are shaping the history of the next generation by choosing to be a lifegiving mother.Īs I look back on the years of mothering my own four children to adulthood, I am more convinced than ever that God created us to be lovers, teachers, spiritual directors, friends, and so much more to our children.
I know that every day, your life is challenging, demanding, and perhaps isolated as you fulfill this important role.

With the terrible respiratory infection our whole family had shared with her, she had cried for twenty minutes as she gasped and wheezed to clear her congested lungs. Today I sat on a crumpled bed with a soft, pink blanket, a half-drunk bottle of milk next to me as I watched my small, fragile grandbaby, one-year-old Lilian, finally begin to breathe the deep breath of a little one deeply in need of rest.
