Super Mom

So often I find myself getting caught up in the daily routine of being a mom. Taking the kids to school, helping with homework, cooking dinner, driving them to soccer practice....Super Mom...all in a days work. But what really makes a mom a supermom? Although the daily activities are important, are those the things I want to be remembered for? As I was reading through Proverbs this week I couldn't help but ask myself these questions. What are the lasting values I want to instill in my girls and am I being a good example of what a Christian woman and mother should be? Am I trustworthy, kind, generous, diligent, compassionate and wise? Do I strive every day to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and to make his presence known? There are many days that I fall far short of this goal, but can my children see that I am trying? Do they understand that these things are truly the important things in life?

In Proverbs 31 vs. 28 it says...."Her children arise up, and call her blessed." How lucky would I be if someday my own children would call me blessed. If the legacy I leave is not what I've done for them, but what I've instilled in them.
