Mom Enough

Some days I feel like I just go through the day to day things of life with a big family.  Meals to plan, kids to tend to, husband to help, house to clean, laundry to do etc… etc….

This book MOM ENOUGH has been so good so far.  I’m not very far into it either.  I actually found myself LAUGHT OUT LOUD a few times because it spoke right to me.  I’m jotting down just a few quotes from what I read today and really liked.

The gospel is not just something to talk about on Sunday morning while you were in clean clothes and the kids are looking orderly. The gospel is not limited to quiet times and reflective moods. The gospel is something to apply while you are nearly upside down in the back of the car trying to buckle a child up who is playing the kazoo and needs his nose wiped.


God is not above these moments. He’s teaching us and leading us and refining us in our different moments.  He wants us to apply his beautiful Gospel in our actions he wants to see us  feeding our children with the grace that he has given to us.”
“It means you need to give up yourself. Let yourself down. Sacrifice yourself here now. Cheerfully wipe the nose for the 15th time today. Make dinner again for the people who don’t like green beans. Laugh when a vomiting child twarts your plans. Let yourself down for the people here with you the people who annoy you, the people who get in your way, the people who take up so much of your time that you can’t read anymore. Rejoice in them. Sacrifice for them. Gain that which you cannot lose in them. “
