My dear friend Mrs.White has written a book! When I found out I was so excited to read it and I wasn't disappointed!
Mother's Faith: Essays, Lamentations, and Encouragement From a Christian Mother of Waywards is written by a mother with a heart for God, a heart for her children and the desire to see those 2 hearts combine. And yet alas, they don't always.
Mrs. White lets us inside her thoughts as she witnesses her children make poor choices, as she sees them go against God's Word, as she sees them settle for second best and all the while she is praying them closer to the kingdom. All the while she is remembering how things were when better choices were made and little ones turned expectantly towards mama for guidance, which always came from above. Oh how this mama's heart remembers!
As a mother of waywards myself- wayward doesn't necessarily mean estranged - I can relate.I can feel the heaviness of heart that Mrs.White describes as well as the feeling of relief when a mother remembers who is ultimately in control.
I would recommend Mother'sFaith to anyone who has a wayward child or to anyone who longs to make their home a place of refuge for their family. A place that any child, wayward or not, wants to remember in their heart and cherish as a memory.
Oh and check out Mrs.White's blog, The Legacy of Home. You'll love it!! She even has a giveaway going on right now!
