The list could go on and on. What else would you add to this list of all the things we do? As women, we wear many hats. Most of us are unusually adept at multitasking, meaning we juggle many hats at once.
Unfortunately, we tend to think of "child of God" as just another hat we wear. But that, my dear friend, is a grave mistake. You see, "child of God" is not just another hat, but it is what we are supposed to hang all our other hats on. It is the foundation of our very identity.
Our identity is not found in how wonderful of a homemaker we may be (or may not be). It isn't in how well behaved our children are (or aren't.) It isn't in how well we juggle every responsibility we have. It is in how much our Heavenly Father loves us- and what He was willing to sacrifice in order to reconcile us to Him.
When we recognize who we were before He saved us, when we recognize what price He paid to give us the gift of Grace- it is easier to remember what our foundation really should be.
