Purpose

As I sit here in the silence of the morning, I think back to when my children were small. It was always something going on. In fact, there was never a dull moment. Looking back, those times were hilarious. However, at the moment, they made me feel like pulling my hair out. What we don’t realize until much later is that time doesn’t stand still, and these small children grow up and have children and lives of their own. And sometimes, as moms and dads, we stand there in the middle of chaos and wonder what purpose does God have for me. I know we were created for a purpose, yet what am I called to do? Look around and see those children … not everybody is called to be a preacher. Not everybody is called to be an evangelist or to be missionaries in foreign lands. But have you really looked at your children? You are their first teacher, so teach them about Jesus.
