They are precious even though we stay with them all day and then they got older and we homeschooled. Now they are adults and my son is married with two small children of his own. Hang in there, you are doing a very important job right now. They will get older and not so messy and more independent. You are shaping their minds. You instill Godly principles in their minds, whether they know it or not!<br />Look on the bright side and enjoy the dear ones now! Love the photos of your boy with the book in another post! God bless!Grandmabeckyl.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362600588981799211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-38197563720210454552012-01-31T17:12:01.513-06:002012-01-31T17:12:01.513-06:00The very fact that Satan is trying to tell you tha...The very fact that Satan is trying to tell you that your work is worthless can be taken as proof that he is shaken by you. The work you are doing is by far the most important thing you could be doing at this moment in your life.<br /><br />Those beautiful boys of yours? Chosen especially for you by the One who created them. YOU are the one to raise them. <br /><br />Diapers, laundry, dishes, cleaning up, repeat...repeat...repeat... It gets to be boring and frustrating. Sure you wanted this life, but does that mean you can't have human emotions and frustrations? NOPE.<br /><br />You are raising up these boys to become men of God. Don't for a second feel you are doing enough, or don't hold value. Yes, your husband has perks and praise, and that is wonderful for him, because that is what he has been called to do.<br /><br />Your work may be unseen by others, but it is never unseen by the Lord. Your perks and praise will come when your boys are men, and you see the fruits of your labour. Your cup will run over.<br /><br />Speak to that sweet husband of yours. Tell him you need some Monica time. Get your hair done, or wander the mall, have coffee with the girls. Be Monica. Rejuvenate yourself. <br /><br />Mothering is tough work, but so rewarding. Some days more than others. <br /><br />I'm praying for you, my sweet friend. You bless your precious family each and every day with all you do. Don't let yourself forget that.<br /><br />xo.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602563223761877580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-48429766923444546972012-01-31T13:32:48.115-06:002012-01-31T13:32:48.115-06:00yes, some days I'm tempted to go off and fight...yes, some days I'm tempted to go off and fight the adventures that he fights and have him stay home... yes, but I'm so glad that I am right where I am... in the home with these precious babes.Traci Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868420770414629597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-3977745121306960662012-01-30T21:33:12.880-06:002012-01-30T21:33:12.880-06:00Oh man do i ever feel like this!!

I linked a very cool article about this very topic on my blog if you care to check it out. I have 6 kids and a husband that works 24 hour shifts and there are days I would give anything to be doing anything but taking care of kids and a house alone. It's ok not to enjoy every second! Some days are just like that!5 dudes, a diva and total chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590804504452003170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-18046900901639528512012-01-30T15:10:35.477-06:002012-01-30T15:10:35.477-06:00Exactly my battleground lately.

I am attempting to remind myself daily...and hourly...and minute by minute that "this is the day the Lord has made- I WILL rejoice in it" not that I hope to rejoice in it...but choosing to rejoice in it. hard to do.<br /><br />i really enjoy the very short book by Rachel Jankovic I posted a pic of it on facebook awhile ago. <br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150357296149007&set=a.10150169039724007.295487.586934006&type=3&theaterjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030342606426756586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-36152760569813807002012-01-30T13:36:46.459-06:002012-01-30T13:36:46.459-06:00First time visiting and so glad that I did.

I have many days when I long for just one moment of freedom, I even envy my husbands hour long drive home because it is in the quiet, alone, with the radio on whatever station he chooses. But I always remind myself of this, if it came down to it, there is no other job in the world that I would choose. There is nothing more important than being here for our kids as they grow up. When we are old and gray no one is going to remember us for what we did at work but they will remember us for what we did at home. Hope tomorrow is an easier day (and sorry for writing a book in your comments).Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825508701189254822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-32481001928766643192012-01-30T13:35:38.365-06:002012-01-30T13:35:38.365-06:00No advice since I fell the exact same way, but my ...No advice since I fell the exact same way, but my sister told me the same thing, and told me how awful I was as a mom. Now that she has a baby, she constantly rubs it in my face about how she's such an awesome mom cuz she works and goes to school and on and on. But. My mom is the one raising her baby. So. Don't listen to the haters.Beth @ Hope And Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178975601078447383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492752135492804254.post-84829764553093795582012-01-30T13:17:58.960-06:002012-01-30T13:17:58.960-06:00Oh, friend.

Even though I'm working from home now, it's still frustrating when you feel trapped inside with little ones all day and can't get out and go like you want. But you're right: YOU are called to a higher calling and a higher purpose than you could ever imagine. You are playing a vital role in the lives of those two sweet boys! Hold your head up! And maybe take some time one day this week to go treat yourself to something nice. A mani/pedi, a new pair of shoes...a quiet shower to wash your hair. ;) Hugs!Courtney K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02573829022325334453noreply@blogger.com
