The question for discussion...
Tell about a time when you found yourself wishing you were accomplishing more in life that really matters. What caused your discontent?Immediately... I thought of my life work... housewife... mom...
Changing diapers... disciplining toddlers to teenagers... endless cycles of cleaning... cooking... washing... picking up... my primary role for 23 years... mostly a thankless job...
Full-time motherhood...
a career no longer honored by our culture...
no salary... by which to measure your worth...
no raises... or paid vacations...
no report cards... or job reviews...
often... the only feedback... comes in the form of complaints...
The challenge... remembering the worth God puts on moms... family... homemaking... His value scale... upside down from the world's...
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Proverbs 31:10
Not all success can be measured by... salary... bonuses... titles...
Discontent creeps in... when I measure as the world measures... rather than God...
For the wisdom of the world is foolishness in God's sight.
1Corinthians 3:19
Have you felt discontent lately...?
Are you measuring by the world's standard... or by God's...?
