Mom Monday

Do you ever feel like helping your children become all that God wants them to become is all on your shoulders? If so, I have good news for you.................it is NOT. We are not alone in our parenting. Listen to God's words:   " I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, But God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers;" 1 Corinthians 3:6-9   As moms, we have a huge responsibility to plant some seeds, to water some seeds in our children but we are not alone in this. God, the Master Gardener, is the One who can make beautiful  things grow in our children. He is our "fellow worker."   May we all do our part, (because we will be "rewarded according to our own labor") and may we do it as well as we can, but may we find encouragement in the truth that we are not alone in this huge task. Press into God and keep asking hIm to do His part of making the seeds of truth grow in your precious children's hearts.  In this season of Spring, the time of new growth and beauty, may your heart be filled with the hope of new growth and beauty in your children. May we take our job of "gardening" our children seriously, watching out for the weeds ( anger, jealousy, lust, slander, etc...) plucking them early before they get too big, nourishing the "soil" of their hearts with lots of love, time, prayers, wisdom, playfulness, God's words, and role modeling Godliness in our own lives.  May we plant the seeds of God's Word through music, dinner devos, bedtime chats, words on the walls of our homes, memory verses, etc..........May a BEAUTIFUL GARDEN GROW IN OUR HOMES....Blessings from Bombadil.
