faithful living

"This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness." -Elisabeth Elliot

I found this quote on someone's blog this morning. So good.

I've been pondering - what's my job? What does this look like for me?

Job - wife. Mother.

So the quote could read like this: "Being a wife and mom is the job that has been given to me to do. 

Therefore, it is a gift. 

Therefore, it is a privilege (sometimes this is more evident than others!). 

Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. 

Therefore, being John's wife and a mom to Emma and Ian is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. 

Here, in my days at home, I may learn God’s way. 

In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness."

pondering and applying this truth today.
