Christmas Devotional for Mothers



Cardinal and Flowers
Cardinal whatnot given to me by my oldest for Christmas and flowers picked from the side yard.

I didn’t get to read this until after Christmas, but this devotional really comforted me. I printed it up and placed in my Bible to read often. Being a mother is very demanding and stressful at times—even more so when she is single—but motherhood is the most rewarding job in the world. Read God With Us, a Christmas devotional by Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies.

Note: You can receive the Above Rubies magazine delivered FREE to your home by visiting the Above Rubies website. It is wonderfully encouraging—I highly recommend it!

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14

“God is at work in response to our prayers, whether we see something happening or not. If we are truly praying, ‘Thy will be done,’ forces are at work beyond our comprehension – and often, beyond our vision. But they are working just the same.”
—David Jeremiah

In my last post, I spoke about how hard the Christmas season has been for me over the years as a single mother. Sallie at A Quiet Simple Life reposted one of her classic posts, Merry Christmas, Darling. I remember how much it spoke to me when I first read it a few years ago. It still makes me cry, because I really long to be married and not be apart any longer from the one I love. The quote at the bottom of the post really, really spoke to my heart as I reread the post. I’m planning to make some bookmarks with the quote on it—lots for myself and some for others.
