Most Christian organizations have a Mission Statement. Yes, we do have one for Above Rubies and I am happy to send it to you if you are interested.
However, I believe that our family unit is even more important than any organization. Therefore, I think it’s a good idea to have a Mission Statement for motherhood too, don’t you think? Perhaps you may have sat with your husband and written a Mission Statement for how you want to build your family. That’s great.
If you haven’t, here is a simple acrostic about mothering that you could use for your Mission Statement. Pit it up in your kitchen to remind you.
M Mothering with passion!
I Inviting God into every situation I face today!
S Serving with joy, even in the routine and mundane!
S Saturating my husband and children with love and
encouragement!
I Intercepting the devil's attacks with prayer and praise!
O Overflowing with joy and thankfulness!
N Nurturing my children with God's anointing!
“Thank you, Lord, for the privilege of being part of the greatest mission on earth. Amen.”
Love to you today,
Nancy Campbell
