“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along not by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker…”
~Helen Keller
This quote has brought great encouragement to me when I have been overwhelmed by feeling like cleaning, cooking, taking care of my little one are insignificant. Each humble task is so important if done with a heart that views it as a great and noble task!
While at a gathering at our church last time discussing the topic of parenting, this thought was shared:
The greatest thing you may ever do is to raise your children and to include them in your lives!
How full of truth that is! Of all the important things we may accomplish in this life, raising our children to love the Lord and include them in serving the Lord together with us, is a high calling, and one not to be taken lightly or passed off to the “professionals”!
Blessings upon you as you view the humble tasks as glorious whatever season of your life!
Dorene is a lovely woman of grace, devoted to the Lord and her family. She is the wife of John and mother to triplets. She has inspired me countless times through her devotion to prayer and the word! I am excited to share an interview with her on a few different topics that I admire in her life. These include: prayer, ministry as a family, and her home business. Join us!
“Singleness has been a noble and courageous path…ever since Jesus and the Apostle Paul chose it ‘because of the kingdom of heaven’…The courage comes when you sense God calling you to singleness (for this chapter of your life) and you accept the call with zeal and creative planning for His glory.” - John Piper
(that would be me!)
I have had a request to share what things my parents did to point me to God. It would be a delight to share!
