The Parable of the Iron

I was ironing one Sunday trying to get my five kids ready for church and my iron refused to produce any steam. I was getting increasingly frustrated as I tried to get out some stubborn wrinkles without the help of the steam. Suddenly I realized my iron wasn't broken, I had just forgotten to put in the water! After filling the iron with water I continued ironing with much better success. As I did this I thought about how sometimes I feel like I'm running out of steam. Many times I have felt like maybe I was broken when really I had just forgotten to fill up on the living water of the gospel. Filing up on the gospel can reenergize our spirits and help smooth out the stubborn wrinkles in life. This blog is dedicated to providing a little daily water to those who are running out of steam!

A Woman's Work is the Work of Christ

A woman teaches as Christ taught
A woman nurses the sick as Christ healed the sick
A woman washes her children and home as Christ washed the apostles feet
A women feeds her family as Christ fed the multitude
A woman opens spiritual eyes as Christ made the blind to see
A woman gathers children to her as Christ gathered children to Him
A woman brings life into the world as Christ brings eternal life to all
A woman comforts as Christ comforts
A woman prays as Christ prays
A woman uplifts the burdens of others as Christ uplifts the burdens of all
A woman speaks words of peace as Christ brings peace to the world
A woman is a light to those around her as Christ is the light of the world
A woman sacrifices much as Christ gave the eternal sacrifice
A woman loves as Christ loves
A woman serves as Christ serves
A woman lives as Christ lives
A woman is a daughter of God and Christ is her brother
