Book
Description:
Wouldn't
it be marvelous if mothering came with a concrete set of instructions---an easy
recipe we could follow? Instead, motherhood challenges women to find their
faith, their true selves, and their family through daily doses of trial and
error. It is a brilliant and healing time of life that is full of joy, pain,
and beauty with a small side of crisis (and humor). What mothers do not know,
they learn. And through this lifelong process of learning, they nurture and
care for the most precious gifts on earth: children. In a modern society where
moms often have a full and busy plate, these 10 minute daily devotions focus on
six key topics of motherhood:
-Self-acceptance
-Self-care
-Reconciling with grief, hope and expectations
-Generosity
-Presence
-Forgiveness
In addition to the devotions, these beautiful
pages are adorned with handmade illustrations to help you refresh from long
days or even occasional sleepless nights. So, grab your colors and a little
quiet time for yourself while doodling at the kitchen table. You will be
grateful you did!
My
Thoughts:
40 Days to a Joyful Motherhood offers uplifting devotions meant to encourage. As a mother of adult children I know how difficult mothering can be and how easily discouragement creeps in. Anything that shores up confidence in a new or seasoned mom is valued. The devotions touch on several common issues shared among moms. Sarah Humphrey shares scriptures, uplifting thoughts, questions and prayers to help bring joy to a mom's day. She keeps the writings brief and doable for a busy mother. I like the graphics created for coloring. They are simple and not super-detailed, so they don't require an intense amount of time. Instead they are relaxing and lovely. This would make a nice gift. I received this book for free from Litfuse.
