The Mission of Motherhood

There is this phenomenal book called The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson.

Have any of you read it? It is simply amazing. It is so encouraging and refreshing. I read this part this morning and wanted to share it with you:

"It is not perfection that God expects from mothers. There is no perfect personality that does the job best. It is not our background or training or the way we keep house that qualifies us to be godly mothers.
God designed mothers to partner with him in his eternal work, and he has promised to reward our faith and our faithfulness. The precious children he has placed in our hands are hoping that we will be faithful and endure so that they will have a reason to hope and an example to follow in their own lives.
It is for the children's sake that we give our lives. We are protecting future generations that they might be strong for the battle of life. We are the real, in-the-flesh tangible picture of God's loving hands, strong arms of protection, and encouraging words of hope to our children. "

I needed some encouragement and wanted to give you a glimpse of this great book.
