On Serving Unseen

The following quote applies to many people, but it touched me as a stay-at-home mom...where so much of what you do goes unseen by the world, and not only goes unapplauded, but is usually derided.  Stay faithful, mommies.  It is a noble calling that we pursue.  Let us pursue it heartily.

"I do confess to wondering this –
if the call isn’t so much about carrying your Cross across a lit stage
but down the Via Dolorosa
and if the truth of it is
that the word altar comes from the Latin ‘altus’ meaning high —
because the realest altars burn
where only Heaven sees."


- Ann Voskamp
