Happy 60th Birthday
Janet Bachert
A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life. (She feared she was
wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother.) She wondered if the
time and energy she invested in her husband and children would make a dif
ference. At times she got discouraged because *o much of what she did
seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated. Is it worth it?" she often won
dered. ".Is there something better that I could be doing with my time?" It
was during one of these moments of questioning that she heard the still small
voice of her heavenly Father speak to her heart "You are a wife and moth
er because that is what I have called you to be. Much of what you do is hid
den from the public eye. But I notice. Most of what you give is done without
remuneration. But I am your reward. Your husband cannot be the man I
have called him to be without your support. Your influence upon him is
greater than you think and more powerful than you will ever know. I bless
him through your service and honour him through your love. Your children
are precious to Me. Even more precious than they are to you. I have entrust
ed them to your care to raise for Me. What you invest in them is an offering
to me. You may never be in the public spotlight But your obedience shines
as a bright light before me. Continue on. Remember you are My servant. Do
all to please me."
Lots of Love Janet, Mom & Nana
