Kerrof5: Tender Mercy

Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

Tender Mercy

Today was an interesting day. But it ended up being fabulous... My neighbor called me while I was still at school to ask if she could crash our house with dinner. Apparently she had made too much pot roast and veggies and homemade rolls. Umm YES! Of course she could bring her kids and eat food at our house since she was bringing it for all of us too. So I called my girls to have them do a clean up job and we had delicious dinner... Thanks Jessica it was VERY thoughtful and definitely a tender mercy of our Heavenly Father. It was what I really needed:)
