Serving the Lord with Gladness

It was an old post that I sought out, scrubbing back through the archives of a thoughtful woman of God to a lesson that she learned.

And I learned…

or perhaps I remembered…

That motherhood is servanthood. It is one way that I serve the Lord.

When I was twenty-two and only ten months married, the God of the Creation decided that I could best serve him by becoming a mother. When I was just twenty-four and six weeks pregnant with my second child, He decided I would serve him best by mourning the loss of that baby. Then, He gave me my James, and thought that I would serve him best as a mother of two living children. And so I remain.

Maybe one day, I will become a mother of more. Maybe not. But, in all things, I will serve Lord, give thanks, and bless His name.
