SUPERMOM

WRITER: PASTOR ALLEN SPEEGLE

Ialways am amazed by working moms. How do you juggle it all? You’re a full-time employee, a homemaker, a mother and a wife. Despite all the responsibilities you juggle, you are expected to look your best, remain spiritually charged and ready to face whatever comes your way.

Wonder Woman and Super Woman had magical powers that enabled them. They were admired for what they accomplished, but it was fictional.

Moms, I challenge you to pull away daily, even if it’s brief; because if not, you’ll wear yourself out and the people around you. Remember quality is more important than quantity.
