SERVANT or MARTYR

"When I choose SERVANT instead of MARTYR, my children enjoy the security that they are welcomed in our home. They are not a thorn in my flesh, cutting into my personal time. They aren't a nuisance, making me sigh with irritation all day. They are welcomed members of this family, loved and purposed. And when my children are welcomed, I have opend the very doros of heaven and invited God himself into the laughter, chaos, and life of our home."
-Jen Hatmaker *Mark 9:36-37
