Gratitude for His Celebration

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him." 2 Corinthians 2:14

Have you ever wondered if, as we operate in our calling(s), there is a triumphant procession leading us and protecting us in the spiritual realm? As believers in His Word, we can be sure that there is all kinds of activity going on around us, but it's just unseen to us in our human state. Imagine how God and His angels celebrate triumphantly as we share the love of Christ with our children, as we spend time fellowshipping with and ministering to other women, as we show love and kindness to strangers, as we choose to submit to our husbands, as we sacrificially say "no" to things of this world and instead say "yes" to things of Him. If you're like me, we tend to spend a large portion of our time learning what it means to become more like Christ. While that is what we are called to do, we are also called to recognize God's love, pride, and celebration of us when we are already showing the behaviors and doing the activities that bring glory to Him. He cheers for us! He instructs His angels to surround and lead us as we share what we know of Him to be true. Today, let's be grateful in the heavenly affirmation that He lovingly showers us with as women, as wives, as daughters, and especially as mothers...which I believe is one of the most highly-esteemed jobs in His sight. Today, and everyday, be blessed, mommies!

Tip #43

This is both an organizational tip and a MMSM. You know how they give your kiddos crayons when you go to restaurants? I figure the price of those crayons is included in the horrendously priced dinners, so they are free for the taking! I have also found that each new box of wipes that I purchase from Costco has an extra wipe box in it that I do not need. I have now turned those wipe boxes into craft supply containers, one of which is a crayon box for art projects! Nothing like a container full of free crayons to pass the time with your little one!
