Meditations for Mothers - Hardcover

Mothers of young children want a way to grow closer to Christ, even when they feel overwhelmed by family responsibilities. Elisa Morgan knows just how it is. In A Nest of Rest, she offers encouraging, upbeat devotions, simple and short, to give the heart wings in the midst of a busy day. Taking a tip from the sparrows, Elisa helps women discover peace and serenity in the flurry of the nesting years. With beautiful illustrations throughout of birds, nests, and birdhouses, A Nest of Rest reminds busy moms of God's unchanging love and care for them. Using metaphors from the bird world, this poignant, uplifting devotional encourages women to practice the presence of God in their daily routine--and to build their heart's nest close to the altar, like the sparrow in Psalm 84. The brief meditations are short enough to read in those moments between baths, snacks, diapers, naps, and playtime. >From inviting others into their nests to savoring this intense, rewarding time of nurturing precious little lives, moms will discover that although different seasons of motherhood come and go, God is always there. And if God cares for the birds of the air, Elisa Morgan reminds moms, how much more he cares for mothers and their children!
