I hear the Pitter Patter of Preschoolers - Is there a better Sound?

Hello Everyone!
Preschool started this week. It is an amazing blessing to look at their excited faces. To know that they are trusting us to speak Christ into their lives is a humbling task. We think that each child is a such a gift.
Each mother that brought their child received a little care bag in case they became a little emotional. They bring their most prized possession to us. WOW!

Somestimes we as mothers wonder if what we're doing makes any difference at all. Here are some quotes you might find familiar:
"Picking up toys, doing, daundry, making sandwiches, wiping off the kitchen counter...it's always there and I'm never done" or
"I can't even get the house clean. I get one room done and move on to the next only to have the first room a mess all over again!"
"How can I be a great parent, great spouse, keep a house like Martha Stewart, and have a full time career?"

Let me encourage that you are making a difference one moment at a time. Your life as a mother will have many different moments. Make the most of the them even if a few of those moments are spent sleeping!!!!

Proverbs 22:6 tells us:
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
This verse is not a promise but is a good standard to live by. Each person makes their own choices. You as a mother help mold those choices
