If we are honest, we can all admit that being a mom is not an easy gig. While there are moments that we love beyond what we could ever have imagined, there are also moments that are more trying both physically and mentally than what we would like to admit. But the thing is, even during those tough times, and perhaps especially during them, motherhood matters. What you do matters. Every diaper you change. Every meal you make. Every ouchie you kiss. Each one matters. But, it’s not always easy to be in each of those moments and feel that what you are doing has a greater purpose. So, today we want to offer all of you moms out there a bit of encouragement.
Today’s encouragement comes thanks to some link love. There are so many amazing blogs and resources out there that we wanted to offer you a few links to some of our favorite posts over the last couple of weeks. Some will make you rethink your perspective, others will challenge you to engage. But hopefully each will also refresh you and give you renewed energy as you begin this week.
Take a few moments to read the following links. I know that time may be difficult to find, but you owe it to yourself. Take a few minutes to be encouraged. And, remember, even on those most frustrating days, motherhood matters. You matter.
