Be Seperate...

I was reading Charles Spurgeon a couple of days ago when I read this: "The Christan, while in the world, I not to be of the world. He should be distinguished from it in the great object of his life. To him, 'to live', should be 'Christ'. Whether he eats, or drinks, or whatever he does, he should do all to God's glory."
What a beautiful picture of hope for us Mother's. If God has formed us and saved us from sin, the work on Calvary should spur our hearts to live for Him! Our days should be masterpieces in serving Christ especially in the mundane, in raising children, in serving our husbands and serving others, shouldn't it?
I was recently drawn by one Mother's prompting her children to view Christ in everything about her. The daughter looked at the world through the lens on Christ's love for her because of this Mother's Love for her Savior.
I desire to be that kind of Mother- to point Christ out in all things about us- to woo our children's hearts toward the Cross especially by rooting out sin in our hearts and loving righteousness in everything we say, look at, hear, or how we dress.
