Sound Investments

Sound Investments

This labor of love that we mothers diligently pursue is not about now. It is about investing in the Kingdom of God. God has entrusted us with this charge of raising our children for His glory and we must complete our task with diligence.

Our hope is in Jesus. And because of Jesus, our labor is not in vain. If we connect to Him and listen to His words and admonition, we have reason for hope. We can have hope knowing that God sees us and has appointed us to steward the lives of little ones whose souls will have eternal impact.

We are investing in eternity. We are shaping history. We are giving shelter and nurturing, working to create a place where children can be taught wisdom, truth, and love in the stormy moments of life. Truth and purpose give us a reason to live this life of giving, serving, exhausting ourselves for the sake of living a story we won’t see the result of for a long time.

We can live without this vision, experiencing our days as filled with endless, pointless work. Or we can live with it, and while our days will still be full of work, we can be assured that our work will have divine purpose.

His Promises

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.

Hebrews 6:10-11, NIV

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1, ESV
