Much of motherhood can seem uneventful and to go unnoticed. Yet, there is still joy and beauty to be found even in the most mundane of days motherhood. Join me, this week as we unpack chapter four of my book, Rest for the Weary Mama: Words of Hope and Encouragement for the Worn-Out Mom
Sorry we got off track in recording, however with my home being hit by two major hurricanes, this last month has just gotten turned completely upside down. But it is good to be back and I'm so excited to share with you chapter four of my book.
How can we find beauty even in our mundane?
1. Know who you are doing the tasks for.
- Ask yourself the hard question of who you are looking for recognition from?
- Are you serving your family with a heart of gratitude and joy? Or bitterness and resentment?
- Knowing and living to an audience of One helps us shift our perspective to what truly matters and learn to appreciate even the mundane moments of motherhood.
2. Know your why.
- This week I challenge you and your spouse to sit down together and discuss your family's "why" and maybe set a long-term goal for you as parents.
- Knowing you why helps drive every decision and can truly help you and your family get where you want to go.
3. Shift your focus from the temporary to the eternal
When we learn to look for and find the beauty in the mundane, everyday moments we also are able to find JOY! And who doesn't want more joy, especially in motherhood?!
