Just as we willingly (and repeatedly!) stand by to help our children get dressed, so is the Spirit pleased to help us daily put on Christ’s righteousness.

Though having sick grandparents alters the memories our kids can make with them, the lessons about suffering and eternity they’ll learn in the process are priceless.

As we delight in Scripture and disciple our children in its truths, we show them the joy of putting the Word before the world.

Weakness in motherhood is a reality, but in Christ, it’s also a glorious opportunity to depend on his strength.

In the midst of nurturing a sick little one, we can find hope in the fact that God is both Comforter and Creator.

When we feel like we have barely enough to serve our own family much less our church family, we can remember that Christ uses scarcity to display his strength.

God designs motherhood not just for our happiness but for our holiness—and he will be with us through every hard day.

Instead of trying to control every outcome for our family, we can depend daily on the One who alone produces the fruitfulness we long for.

In the economy of motherhood, every faith-filled act of love towards our children counts, helping to point them to Jesus and fulfill God’s plans for their lives.

Just like a thunderstorm waters growth on the earth, so do life’s storms bring forth good things in our hearts by God’s grace.

We may feel like we don’t have the time or resources to give our kids magical memories, but God provides opportunities for fun and connection even within our most ordinary moments.

As we wait out the uncomfortable last weeks of pregnancy, we can turn our eyes towards the truer, better deliverance to come in Christ Jesus.
