    The Investment & Gift of Time ~ A Mother's Treasure. Mother and 3 daughters reading by candlelight

    (Post by JES)

    The best gifts in life are made up of a little investment of time: minutes and seconds.

    It is the time and energy you give to your children.

    It is the moments poured from your soul and into their little hearts. It is something that money can never replace and gifts can never satisfy.

    It is you, dear mother. It’s you!

    It is those mornings you sit with your child as you read together from books. It is those afternoons spent stirring a batch of cookies. It is the evenings spent embracing them, showering them with kisses.

    It is your investment of time.

    It is precious, invaluable. Just like your children… for they are your gems, your treasure.

    They are the only treasure that you will be able to take with you to heaven.

    Forego the fancy toys and the glittering electronics… It is the memories spent with you that will always be cherished.

    Won’t you wrap yourself up these next few years in a box with pretty string and offer yourself to your family?

    Your time, dear mother, is the best gift that you can ever give.

    “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time…” ~Ephesians 5:15-16

    I hope you will take a moment to visit JES at Strangers and Pilgrims On Earth. I believe it is one place you will want to return to time and time again to visit her archives. She uses beautiful artwork and writes on homemaking and family themes.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
