A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life,
she feared she was wasting her potential being a devoted wife
and mother.  She wondered if the time and energy she invested
in her husband and children would make a difference.

At times she got discouraged because too much of what she did
seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated.
"Is it worth it?" she often wondered. "Is there something better
that I could be doing with my time?"

It was during one of these moments of questioning that she heard
the still small voice of her heavenly Father speak to her heart.
"You are a wife and mother because that is what I have called you to be.
Much of what you do is hidden from the public eye.  But I notice.
Most of what you give is done without renumeration.
But I am your reward.

Your husband cannot be the man I called him to be
without your support.  Your influence upon him is greater than
you think and more powerful than you will ever know.
I bless him through your service and honor him through your
love.  Your children are precious to Me. Even more precious than
they are to you.  I have entrusted them to your care
to raise for me.  What you invest in them is an offering to Me.

You may never be in the public spotlight. But your obedience
shines as a bright light before Me.  Continue on.
Remember you are My servant.  Do all to please Me."
