Summer Vocation series: "God Calls Me a Dedicated Mom" (1 Samuel 1:21-28)

God calls everyone to various roles in life. As a matter of fact, everyone from young to old has multiple roles. He gifts us in unique ways to carry out those roles. In each of these roles he connects us to other unique people we can love and serve. So, who are you? Who are the people God has placed in your life? How can you glorify God as you carry out your unique role - caring for others even as others care for you? Today we give thanks to God for the vocation of motherhood, a vocation by which we all have been blessed, for we would not be here were it not for our mothers. Mothers carry out a unique - and challenging! - role. When so many depend on mothers for so much, where do mothers turn for the strength to carry out their calling?
