“Nothing invested in children is wasted; it is multiplied.” That is what I heard from the Lord when I wrestled with this as a college student 20+ years ago when it seemed that the things I most wanted in life were at odds with each other - and, as I pictured them, they were. And, some of what gets invested in the kids is my failures and the ways God uses those to magnify Himself to my kids.

I love you, friend. I feel like people think moms don’t do much. Some don’t do much. Some days I don’t do as much as other days, but every day I get paid nothing for hours of work. Night shift and day shift. Oh sure, I get paid in love and smiles, blah blah blah… But holy cow- the amount it would cost to replace me in all the ways I work. I feel under appreciated.
