No one can say who built the great cathedrals, we have no record or their names. These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never see finished. They gave great sacrifices and expected no credit. The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of God saw everything. There is a story told of a rich man who came to visit one of the great cathedrals while it was being built. He saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. He asked the man, "why are you spending so much time carving something that will be covered by the roof. No one will ever see it?" The craftsman replied, 'because God sees.'
You see dear mother, God is saying to us, 'I see the sacrifices you make every day, even when no one else does. No act of kindness you've done, no cupcake you have baked, is to small for me to notice and smile over.' You are building a great cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will become. You are a great builder, and one day the world may marvel , not at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the world by sacrifices of invisible mother's. Be encouraged, keep going, in the end it is worth all the work.
This was taken from an e-mail from Charlotte. Another invisible mom. Thank you!
