Day 8

Praise God for single mom's.

It is not an easy task being a single mom. God did not intend for it to be this way. He made man and woman to be joined together in marriage to have children together and to bring them up in the ways of the Lord. But for many of us, this isn't our reality. We were lost and God found us, now we are alone, trying to raise Godly children. For me as a single mom I have to give so much of myself and sometimes it's just not enough. I have to play the role of mother and father. I have to work full time, evenings, weekends, days, there is no set schedule to our lives, which can be very unhealthy. I have to be the maid, the cook, the repairman (which doesn't always work to well). But through it all how blessed am I to be able to raise this beautiful child, to ask her at 3 years old,where is Jesus? and her reply is "in my heart", to hear her singing praises to Jesus, and praying "for the food" as she goes to sleep. Praise God for all the single mom's out there who are giving it their all when it comes to raising Godly children.
