If Motherhood was easy then I wouldn’t be appreciative of the small victories.
If Motherhood was clean then I wouldn’t have learned the patience it takes to deal with messes.
If Motherhood came with accolades then I wouldn’t know how to serve with the right motives.
If Motherhood came with a manual then I wouldn’t be constantly on my knees before the Lord begging for wisdom.
If Motherhood was glamorous then I wouldn’t realize that beauty comes from consistently doing the mundane.
If Motherhood was all about me then I wouldn’t be able to see my selfishness and be sanctified through it.
If Motherhood was a short season then I wouldn’t see how beautiful things get after they are nurtured and grow.

What a great perspective! Motherhood really does teach us so much. More than we will probably ever really know.
Thank you for your encouragement, I agree its teaching me so much and will continue to do so. Thank you for your comment! 🙂
Brittany, can I share this on my blog? You have concisely captured the perspective I pray for every day. And I’m constantly reminded how I can’t do this in my own strength, but only with His!
Absolutely Leah! 🙂 Grateful it was an encouragement to you!

My prayer each day is that God will give me this perspective that Brittany has so perfectly, concisely described. I’m sharing here in case it is an encouragement to others, and so I can find it and read it over and over again. Thank you for writing this, Brittany!
Thank you so much for your sweet encouragement. We are all in this journey together and need one another to encourage us in the process.
