I remember being a young mother, overwhelmed and tired from swimming against the cultural current. It was the early 1980s, and the mantra was that staying at home to raise your children was oppressive or ignorant or both. I can still hear Dr. Dobson‘s voice on that radio program saying, “Moms, you are doing THE most important job in the universe.” I knew it was true, and it gave me a renewed passion to dedicate every day to raising my blessings for God’s glory. I have shared his words with countless “moms in the trenches” over the decades. Only eternity will reveal the impact of each mother’s years of self-sacrifice. Motherhood is a high calling. I never doubted it, but having Dr. Dobson affirm it was life-giving encouragement. Now, another generation is stepping up to embrace this holy assignment, and I am forever grateful!
