HOW TO OVERCOME THE STRESS OF A STAY AT HOME MOM

Martha is a housewife and a stay at home mom. This lady of the house was in trouble, life was suddenly in shambles one night. Her little kids were running toy cars across the kitchen floor and quarrelling over who had the right of way. There was a cat between her feet purring and rubbing against her ankles. There was a puppy, jumping and devouring her stockings and demanding his cup of milk. What could she do? She still had to peel the potatoes and fix dinner, straighten out the kids, feed the puppy and get the cat off her ankles, lest she should trip and break her neck. It was time to put into practice, all her knowledge, devotion and religion. She did. So they had their meal and they had a joyful grace, a lively conversation and a good laughter to go with it. The puppy was fed, the cat was quiet and the boys were put to bed. Martha knew God was with her and He knew and cared for her. This was her belief.
