Biblical Motherhood

I read some really great blogs/sermons about mothering recently.  Mostly they relate to Christian moms who stay at home in order to raise their children, but I would encourage any and all mothers to check them out.  Each piece I'm including has really shaped my aspirations and encouraged me in my pursuit of being a godly mother.

John Piper sermon: Honoring the Biblical Call of Motherhood (you can read or watch it)
       Here is a quote about the purpose of his sermon:

My aim to encourage the women—and there are millions of you—who believe that God’s call on your life is marriage, the joyful support of a husband and his calling as you display what the relationship between Christ and the church looks like, and motherhood, the transmission of a God-centered, Christ-treasuring vision of life to your children, and home-management, the creation of a beautiful and simple place and a living organism called a home which becomes, not only for the family, but also for the community a refuge of Christ’s peace and launching pad for God’s righteousness.

The sermon is short, and he talks from a passage in Timothy that I would not have considered for this topic, but it is good.. Check it out!!
