Ironic

So I am reading through this book - Passionate Housewives Desperate for God- and there are so many great things in this book!!! One of the things the authors bring out is the irony of our society today. The topic on what God's word says our job is as wives and mothers, versus what the world thinks we should be doing as woman. Here is a little part that really stood out to me!!

Of course, much of the world would agree that being a housekeeper is acceptable as long as you are not caring for your own home; treating men with attentive devotion would also be right as long as the man is the boss in the office and not your husband; caring for children would even be deemed heroic service for which presidential awards could be given as long as the children are someone else's and not your own.

Homegrown children take a lot of hard work-and sometimes "it ain't pretty" Other times, it's breathtaking! Biblical motherhood means sacrifice, selfless love, and faithful dedication. It means we're there with our families-body, mind and spirit.
