Hearts at Home Ministry

I want to take a day to write about a wonderful ministry that I've discovered called "Hearts at Home". It's a ministry specifically for mothers and I've been so encouraged by it. I found out about it while visiting my in-laws in Montana. A cousin of theirs loaned a book to me called "I'm Glad I'm a Mom" - her daughter-in-law had an article published in it. What a great book! It's written by moms, about different experiences they've had in motherhood, and it's encouraging, it's humorous, it's inspiring. Well in reading through this book while on vacation in Montana, I wrote down the author's name, Jill Savage, and the website for Hearts at Home. When we returned to Tucson, I looked her up on the internet and was amazed to find that a ministry exists that's just for mothers !! As a new mom, and a stay-at-home mom who has discovered that staying at home is much more difficult than I'd thought it would be, this was amazing. I immediately bought two of Jill's books, "My Heart's at Home" and "Professionalizing Motherhood."

Jill Savage began this ministry in 1994 in Illinois and it has grown immensely since then. It offers education and conferences for mothers - the mission statement of Hearts at Home sums it up: "Hearts at Home is a Christ-centered organization which encourages, educates, and equips women in the profession of motherhood. "

Please check out this wonderful ministry, especially those of my friends who are stay-at-home mommies!! This is just for you: http://www.hearts-at-home.org/.
