Do you ever get tired of working 168 hours a week as a mom with no pay or vacation?
If you’re a mom, you know there’s not much glamour in motherhood. There is not much recognition or validation, no paychecks, no promotions, no pats on the back from co-workers. When you’re up to your elbows in dishes and diapers; it’s easy to lose sight of your purpose in life.
Have you ever wondered if what you do even matters?
In her book, Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time, author Marla Taviano encourages moms to see their job as valuable and rewarding. She even suggests using diaper-changing times as quick prayer opportunities, asking God to help us savor each moment we’ve been given with our children.
So, maybe we could cuddle a little longer, walk a little slower, hug a little tighter and remember we’re making a bigger difference than we could ever know.
