I am proud to be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) and I realize that other members of this elite club wear many hats like myself, but the term "Missionary" just describes so well what I try to be each day to my three kids! I admire and respect missionaries that leave home, leave friends and family, leave all material things, and go to far-away countries to spread God's word. I would love to do that even! I have pictured the DiSH and the kids and I living in a small simple house in the jungle somewhere, me teaching kids how to speak English, add 1+1 and to memorize Bible verses while the DiSH builds churches and schools, and my kids are planting gardens and babysitting village children, teaching them new games! I could live like that! And I won't rule it out....my motto is, My Feet, His Path. So, if He leads me there, I will go. But for now, I know my job is here...in my home. Doing my best to raise three God-fearing, compassionate, kind Christian kids. :) And so today, I really appreciate the Stay-At-Home-Missionary label. It suits me! Does it suit YOU?
I sure hope so but some days I wonder about myself.
ReplyDeleteI loe this! I too could live like that other option though but am just praying daily for His guidance and His plans for me. This is a wonderful way to look at it.
