Moments for Mums: Endure - Part 2Sample

When my daughter was very little, she saw an opera singer on television. She squatted in front of the TV (as toddlers do), entranced by this woman with her long elegant dress and beautiful voice. 

I have never forgotten the image because, at that moment, I saw my daughter inspired in such a way that it transformed her life. 

An adult now, she is both a singer and a costume maker. This took years of discipline and training, but it was never in question because it’s what she loves!

Mothering takes dedication and effort. The challenges are constant. The sacrifices can be draining. It isn’t always easy. 

Know these two things:

● Love will give our labor purpose.

● Inspiration will help us to endure.

Paul encourages us to look beyond our earthly trials and find our inspiration in Jesus and the future he has lovingly prepared for us. 

Question

What is one challenge you face this week that will be easier if your response is prompted by love and inspired by your hope in Jesus?

Prayer

Thank you, Father, for the sure hope of a future that is everything good we can imagine. Please inspire us to love generously.
