In the church in america, women, and particularly mothers, are not honored enough. Too often a wife and mother that stays home with her children and managers the innerworkings of the household are scoffed at.

A while back I was engaged in discussion about birth control, and one young woman’s comment was that she didn’t want to have children because she wanted to be involved in women’s ministry. The hijacking assumption being that if you aren’t having a woman’s bible study, or this or that group, or whatever, then you just aren’t doing ministry. And that’s crap.

A woman’s work in the home with the family is what it’s all about. That is the epitomy of ministry. That’s ‘frontline of the battlefield’ ministry. You can’t get more real than that.

A big thank you to all you stay at home moms, and especially my lovely wife, Megan - who does more around our home than I ever even know. God bless you.
