What if I were to tell you, Mom, that your only real work in this world is not the dishes; it’s not the money you bring in; it’s not the school you pick or the activities that make up your week. The real work is done in prayer.  Because in THAT PLACE everything is made possible. Because in THAT PLACE He teaches you how to BE LOVED.  Because in THAT PLACE you find out who you are and what your purpose is.

Love the Lordyour God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:5-9
