Our hearts were encouraged to see this article in our newspaper today. Way to go, Josh! I wish you knew what your story and faith means to our family.

Practicing Joy

The routines of housework and mothering may be seen as a kind of death, and it is appropriate that they should be, for they offer the chance, day after day, to lay down one's life for others. Then they are no longer routines. By being done with love and offered up to God with praise, they are thereby hallowed as the vessels of the tabernacle were hallowed-not because they were different from other vessels in quality or function, but because they were offered to God. A mother's part in sustaining the life of her children and making it pleasant and comfortable is no triviality. It calls for self-sacrifice and humility, but it is the route, as was the humiliation of Jesus, to glory.

-Elisabeth Elliot

"Taking up our cross daily means to form the habit of going through our day...with a passion to give up our right to make ourselves the center of concern. Rather we live for God's kingdom, finding our place in His unfolding plan and playing our role well as we give our life away to others for Christ's sake."

-Moreland and Issler

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

-Jesus, Luke 9:23
