It causes me to stop right then to give glory to God, thanking Him for using His little servant and working in that person&#8217;s heart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I recently received a beautiful email from a young expectant homeschooling mother of five children. I asked her permission to share part of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Here it is:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>I must tell you how much your books and talks have affected my life.\u00a0 I am not even sure how I discovered you. I think it was an Amazon search years ago for Catholic motherhood.\u00a0 The first book that I&#8217;ve read by you was\u00a0<i>Embracing Motherhood,\u00a0<\/i>which made me feel elevated in my status as a mom.\u00a0 You lifted my spirits, pointing out how motherhood is a &#8220;<b>sublime<\/b>&#8221; calling. For years, I just wanted my mom and mother-in-law to come beside me and lift me up and praise the work I was doing, but the reality is that they grew-up in a very feminist generation and seem to be blind to the validity of this work.\u00a0 So,\u00a0<i>your\u00a0<\/i>writings filled that need for validation for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>Next, I started listening to\u00a0<i>Everyday Blessings For Catholic\u00a0Moms<\/i>\u00a0on my Kindle as I went around cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. The kids always knew when I was folding clothes\u00a0bc\u00a0the theme music would blare out \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Then, I read\u00a0<i>The Domestic Church<\/i>, and one of my favorite passages in that book (which I double highlighted) was when you said that &#8220;Blessed (soon to be saint \ud83d\ude42 Teresa&#8217;s advice was to\u00a0<b>not be ashamed of humble\u00a0work<\/b>\u00a0which is a huge part of mothering: an extraordinary vocation in which little saints are raised inside the hidden confines of the\u00a0homelife\u00a0amid the\u00a0<b>nitty-gritty, humble\u00a0work<\/b>\u00a0of the mother in the home.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 That one statement helps to bring me back to a place of peace when I am tempted to grumble and get discouraged with the\u00a0nitty-gritty of it all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mother_Kids.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3991\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3991 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mother_Kids-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Mother_Kids\" width=\"584\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mother_Kids.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mother_Kids-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mother_Kids-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mother_Kids-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She continued&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>I cannot express to you what a miracle it is that a girl like me (raised in a non-church going home with a mom who thinks I have lost my mind to be open to this many children&#8230;and consequently, she has not offered any support or help) is on the path that I am on. I owe it to the great influences of women like you!\u00a0 You have come into my home and spoken words of faith and encouragement.

The culture does not make it easy for the heroic mothers who are trying their best to raise Christian children. They are constantly bombarded by the crazy mixed messages of the culture and are not often encouraged in their beautiful sacrificial role of serving their family. Protecting their family from the influences of the evil in society and working hard to teach, care, and most of all, love their children can be tiring.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>That mother you see who seems to have it all together, might actually be deeply hurting inside because she craves some motherly affirmation&#8211;some kind of shot in the arm to keep her going. You can be the one to help her to know that she is so treasured by God and extremely important to her family in a sometimes thankless job, humbly working through the nitty gritty details of life in the family.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Please go out of your way, and perhaps even push a bit beyond your comfort zone to encourage the many mothers in the trenches raising their little saints to heaven. They need our kind and loving words of encouragement and affirmation. Please help that frazzled or worn out Mom in the grocery store or on the plane&#8211;wherever the encounter unfolds and the need arrises. Let her know that her work and sacrifice are SO very important. After all, God has entrusted her with the human being!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I am absolutely sure that you will find countless opportunities&#8211;even just in your daily life as you encounter mothers and grandmothers&#8211;to help uplift them in their sublime vocation of motherhood &#8211; that beautiful vocation of LOVE.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You lifted my spirits, pointing out how motherhood is a &#8216;sublime calling,&#8217;&#8221; she told me.
